Portrait of Hojun Park

About

From research to product.

I started in market research, moved through content strategy and product operations, and now lead product for discovery and product data at Carhartt WIP.

Research is still where I start. What customers actually do comes before what we build.

My depth is in search, ranking, recommendations and personalization, and in the catalog data those systems run on. The domain has been fashion e-commerce. The problem is the same wherever a large, messy item set meets a customer with an intent.

Product and strategy

Frame customer and business problems, define success, and turn evidence into roadmaps teams can act on.

Program and delivery

Lead launches, migrations and release readiness across business, product, engineering and vendors.

Data and analytics

Use behavioral data, SQL, BI, experiments and qualitative signals to choose priorities and measure outcomes.

Leadership

Create clarity across disciplines, challenge decisions constructively, and leave teams with ways of working they can keep.
