Currently, Sun Hee is also active in advising the companies on reaching compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation.

Her main job is to help customers better understand the Microsoft Cloud through the lenses of cybersecurity, privacy and regulatory compliance. As adoption of cutting-edge digital technology such as AI and IoT requires a careful understanding of the technology, customer’s needs and circumstances, as well as the legal and regulatory environment, Kumsun Kim frequently engages customers’ legal and compliance teams to enhance mutual learning when she’s not negotiating cloud computing transactions with them.
