Sue Park (MBA 2025), a Forté Fellow from the United States, established South Korea’s first literary agency dedicated to representing authors from the beginning of their careers. Her mission extends beyond individual deals: “I’ve always believed that leadership comes in many forms. I tend to associate quieter qualities, such as devotion to a long-term vision, diplomatic tact and the ability to inspire through action, with signs of truly lasting leadership.”
