Background

About Eun Young Lee

Hi! My name is Eun Young and I'm a product strategist at Workday, where we empower organizations to shape the future of work with AI-driven HR solutions. I recently graduated with my MBA from Columbia Business School, focusing on generative AI, product management, M&A, valuation, and strategy. Prior to my MBA, I spent 5 years in the IC (intelligence community) space, both as a federal defense consultant at Booz Allen and as a Military Intelligence Officer in the U.S. Army. I've spent the majority of my career helping various DoD clients identify, analyze, and mitigate threats with a focus on the Asia-Pacific theater, leveraging open source data and cross-collaborating with data scientists. I've also contributed to leading national security and homeland defense strategy for a division-level command as an Intelligence Plans and Operations Officer. I'm currently a Captain in the U.S. Army Reserves and a company commander. In undergrad, I studied abroad in Korea, China, and Australia. I've utilized my experiences and linguistic capabilities in my professional work. I was a peer advisor at Notre Dame, highly involved in Army ROTC, and volunteered with the Early Childhood Development Center, amongst other extracurriculars. I remain dedicated to the empowerment of authenticity, inclusivity, and equity in every organization I've belonged to. As part of my way of giving back, I've started a newsletter titled Next Gen Nav to provide resources, job openings, and career advice. I am a first-generation college student, first-generation professional, immigrant, and vet - one who has extensive experience working in male-dominated fields and industries. I've managed teams and created policies, had oversight over 200 Soldiers as an Executive Officer, and served in peer leadership on multiple boards during my MBA. If you'd like to chat about any of the above, please send me a note!
