Hosung Kim, business analytics

The right question first.
Then the data.

I am an analytics professional pursuing the Master of Science in Business Analytics at the USC Marshall School of Business, graduating in December 2027. Alongside my studies, I work as a research assistant on organization design data and build analytics projects in forecasting, people analytics and AI.

Résumé

About me

Seoul · Los Angeles

I find out what’s actually true, so better decisions can follow.

AI can now build a dashboard in seconds. What it can’t do on its own is decide which question matters, or tell whether an answer is real or just looks convincing. That’s the work I care about: framing the right question, designing experiments that separate cause from coincidence, and uncovering the story hidden in the data.

As companies hand more work to AI agents, someone has to measure whether those systems truly help, whether they save time, reduce errors, and make people’s work better rather than just faster. I want to be that person.

When that work is done well, it reaches far beyond a spreadsheet. Fairer workplaces, where pay gaps and biased promotions come to light and get fixed. Less waste, as better forecasts keep food and goods from being thrown away. Healthier lives, as hospitals catch risks earlier and shorten waits. Smarter public spending, as programs prove they work before they scale.

Analytics isn’t about persuading people. It’s about helping organizations make choices that hold up for the people they affect. That’s the future I’m building toward.
