Where passion changes lives
When Kohyoh joined ZS in 2020, he was drawn to ZS’s reputation for blending data-driven insights with creative problem solving. Over the past four years, he has honed his problem-solving abilities while collaborating across cultures and delivering solutions for clients. All of this earned Kohyoh a promotion and the additional responsibility of leading a team.
Kohyoh’s role centers on helping clients unlock the potential of their data. One of his most memorable projects involved supporting the launch of a new department for a client, allowing him to be onsite and learn alongside a senior ZS colleague.
“Consultants often interact with clients from an external perspective, but onsite I got to work with various departments and vendors from the client’s perspective, so I was able to feel the dynamics within the organization,” he shares. “Thanks to my experience, I can now communicate better with clients and I can guess what kind of things they might be interested in.”
Working alongside diverse teams has been a highlight of Kohyoh’s journey. “ZS is a melting pot of ideas and perspectives,” he explains. “It feels like I’m studying abroad while working at a domestic company.” By collaborating with colleagues from different backgrounds, Kohyoh has gained a deeper understanding of how cultural nuances shape decision-making processes. These interactions have also sharpened his ability to present complex data insights in ways that resonate with varied audiences.
Paving the way for growth
ZS’s culture of mentorship and continuous learning has played a pivotal role in Kohyoh’s development. “I’ve had the privilege of learning from some of the brightest minds in the industry,” he says.
Whether it’s through formal training programs, like ZS’s Evolve program, or on-the-job coaching, ZS provides ample opportunities for professional growth. This support has empowered Kohyoh to take on increasing levels of responsibility and make a tangible difference in his work.
As he reflects on his journey, Kohyoh is excited about the future. “ZS is constantly evolving, and I’m thrilled to be part of a company that’s shaping the future of data-driven decision-making,” he says. For those considering a career at ZS, he advises, “Be curious, be open-minded and be ready to grow. This is a place where you can truly make a difference.”
