Founder & Group CEO
Sujin Lee, Founder and Group CEO of Yanolja and a visionary leader who has continuously reshaped the global travel industry through innovation. Guided by a vision to make travel ten times easier, he constantly challenges both himself and the status quo.
His journey of innovation began at the grassroots level of the hospitality industry.

By leading the rapid shift to mobile, he successfully spearheaded industry-wide change. On Yanolja’s 10th anniversary, he declared global expansion, marking another significant leap forward. Through Enterprise Solutions that maximize operational efficiency for travel businesses, Yanolja has grown into a leading Global Technology Company.
