Top SchoolPope Kim is a veteran technology leader and CEO with over two decades of hands-on engineering and executive experience, notable for building global teams that sustained zero voluntary attrition while scaling company value dramatically. He began as a rendering engineer shipping AAA titles across virtually every console since 2000 and progressed to senior graphics roles at studios like Relic, EA and Capcom before transitioning to technical leadership and startups. As CTO of Gluwa he led product, architecture and operations, directly managing the majority of the workforce and driving exponential business growth.
