Timeline
Kim attended public schools throughout his K-12 education graduating a semester early from high school. Having won a scholarship to Johns Hopkins University, Kim earned his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and computer science in three years. During his seven-year stint in the U.S. Navy, Kim also earned a master's degree in technical management from Johns Hopkins University, and, after returning to civilian life, earned a Ph.D. in reliability engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park – in only two years and while working full-time. His was the first doctorate to be awarded by the university in that discipline.
Kim left Alcatel-Lucent in 2013 and co-founded and became Executive Chairman of Kiswe Mobile Inc. – a start-up focused on interactive mobile video.
Kim served on the U.S. Presidential Commission on Review of U.S. Intelligence, the External Advisory Board of the CIA, and the Award Committee for the U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation. He currently serves on the board of the Nuclear Threat Initiative. In February 2013, he was nominated as the Minister of Future Creation and Science for South Korea though he withdrew his candidacy shortly thereafter.
Kim served on the boards of Johns Hopkins University, Georgetown University, the University of Maryland, and the Freeman Spogli Institute of International Studies at Stanford University. The University of Maryland recognized his contribution with the construction and naming of the Jeong H. Kim Engineering and Applied Science Building. The Stevens Institute of Technology honored him by conferring an Honorary Doctor of Engineering, as did Postech University in Korea with a Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa. In 2009, he was honored with the Chinese Institute of Engineers' Lifetime Achievement Award.
In 2005, he rejoined Lucent (which later became Alcatel-Lucent after its merger with the French telecom giant, Alcatel; Alcatel-Lucent has since been acquired by Nokia) to serve as president of its Bell Labs division. He was the institution's 11th president – and the first recruited from outside the Labs in its 80-year history. In the last two years of his eight-year tenure as the head of Bell Labs (2005-2013), Kim also served as Alcatel-Lucent's chief strategy officer.
Kim took a hiatus from Lucent in 2002 to join the University of Maryland faculty, with joint appointments in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. While teaching, Kim assembled a group of investors to purchase Cibernet, a provider of cellular billing exchange services, and served as Chairman from March 2003 until July 2005.
In 1999, Kim co-founded Taconic Capital Advisors LLC, an event-driven and multi-strategy hedge fund firm, along with Kenneth Brody and Frank Brosens.
At age 37, having sold Yurie, he stayed on with Lucent, serving first as president of carrier networks (1998-1999), then as president of the optical networking group (2000-2001), where he orchestrated a multibillion-dollar business turnaround that propelled Lucent's worldwide market share position from #4 in the optical space to #1 in four fiscal quarters.
In 1992, Kim borrowed against his house and his credit cards to start Yurie Systems Inc. Within five years, Yurie was taken public in February 1997 and later named the #1 Hot Growth Company among all public companies in the United States by BusinessWeek in May 1997. In 1998, Kim sold the company to Lucent Technologies for $1.1 billion. Kim personally received over $510 million after the sale.
As Digitus fell victim to the accelerating consolidation of the computer industry, Kim resolved that on leaving the Navy he would start his own business and avoid the mistakes Digitus had made. Unable to obtain financing for his own start-up, however, he signed on as a contract engineer for AlliedSignal at the Naval Research Laboratory (1990-1993), where he became aware of the asynchronous transfer technology used to link different modes of electronic communication. He saw the need to bridge the gap between the integrated technology of the future and the many differing systems in use today. The military, for one, had a need to link its divergent systems of voice, video, and data, especially from remote areas lacking communications infrastructure.
While still in college he began to work for a start-up tech firm called Digitus (1980-1982). He became a partner in the company and believed he was well on his way to realizing significant financial returns from his stake in the enterprise. But upon graduation, he determined that it was time to repay his adopted country for the opportunities it had given him, so he left Digitus to join the U.S. Navy, where he served as a nuclear submarine officer (1982-1989).
Born in Seoul, South Korea, Jeong Kim is a product of a broken home. His parents divorced when he was very young, and he was raised by different relatives while his father went to find work. He immigrated to the United States with his family in 1975 at the age of 14. Speaking little English, he found the transition to a foreign culture difficult, but he found teachers who recognized his ambition and appetite for work, and took a personal interest in him. Kim left home at the age of 16, at one point sleeping in the basement of one of his high-school teachers. He worked the night shift at a 7-Eleven to support himself until he finished school.
Jeong Hun Kim (Korean: 김종훈 ; born August 13, 1960) is a South Korean-born American academic, businessman, and entrepreneur in the technology industry. He served as the President of Bell Labs from 2005 to 2013.
