Joseph Inkyu Yu

The best data and systems work happens when technical depth meets business clarity.

I build the bridge between them: turning business problems into structure, and partnering with technical teams on systems people actually trust.

Who I am

I’m Joseph Inkyu Yu. I lead Business Development Systems & Analytics as a Director at a Fortune 500 company. Before that, I spent 11 years at KPMG, moving from traditional tax into tax technology and automation.

I moved to the U.S. at 26 without speaking English. Everything I’ve built since started with one belief: structure creates freedom.

The path so far

  1. At 26Moved from Korea to the U.S. with little English and no roadmap.
  2. 11 years at KPMGFrom intern to manager, from traditional tax into tax technology.
  3. TodayDirector, Business Development Systems & Analytics.

What I write about

  • Leading data and systems teams with a business-first mindset
  • Moving from finance, accounting, or operations into data, analytics, and systems roles
  • Building structure that scales, in teams, in careers, and in life

Who this is for

You’re good at the business. You understand the numbers and the people. But your work keeps pulling you toward data and systems, and you’re not sure you’re technical enough.

You probably are. The gap is smaller than you think, and it’s more about how you think than which tools you know.

Making the move yourself?

Tell me where you are and where you want to go. I read every message.

Clarity.
Structure.
Scale.

Every number has a story behind it. Success isn’t random, it’s repeatable. And wealth isn’t luxury, it’s options.
