Education and career
June Sung Park was born in Seoul, Korea in 1954. He studied Business Administration in Seoul National University (SNU). After obtaining MBA from SNU, he joined Ph.D. program in Finance in The Ohio State University. But after one year, he changed his major to Management Information Systems (MIS) with an informal permission of then Associate Dean Robert E. Georges of the College of Administrative Science at OSU. The dean and the faculty of the Accounting and MIS group of the College were then looking for the first Ph.D. student in MIS. The MIS doctoral program proposed by the College was, however, not yet approved by the University. June wrote a proposal to create a One-of-a-Kind Ph. D. program in Information Systems, which was approved by the Graduate School of OSU on November 20, 1985. His Ph.D. degree was to be titled Interdisciplinary: Computer and Information Science/Industrial and Systems Engineering.

June graduated with the degree in 1988, and joined The University of Iowa (UI) as a tenure-track faculty member in the Management Sciences department in 1989. He was tenured at UI in 1995. June’s research has been in the interface between computer systems and operations research, applying combinatorial optimization and stochastic processes/control techniques to optimization and performance analysis of database systems, computer networks, distributed computing systems and software systems    From 1998 to 2000 he served as Chair of the Technical Section on Telecommunications in the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS). In 2000 he was invited to teach model-based, component-based software engineering to graduate students in Department of Computer Science and Technology in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.

In 2001 he moved from UI to Samsung in Korea, and served as CTO of the shared IT service organization (called Samsung SDS) of Samsung group until 2009. Samsung SDS (SDS) was the largest software organization in Korea in 2000s. June as CTO of the leading software organization in Korea led improvements in software practices in Korea during 2000s. In 2001 he adopted the Rational Unified Process as the standard software engineering process for SDS. He had his own department in SDS certified at Capability Maturity Model (CMM) Level 5, for the first time in Korea, by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University in 2002. He adopted Personal Software Process (PSP) and Team Software Process (TSP) as well from SEI. He also had SDS certified at P-CMM level 3 in 2005

June returned to academia in 2010, joining Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), one of the best engineering schools in Korea, as S-Class Invited Professor in the Industrial and Systems Engineering department. He created a course titled IT Service Engineering for KAIST when he was with SDS. After joining KAIST, he developed additional new courses including Business Process Management and Cloud Computing, and conducted research on Software Engineering. He also served as CEO of SEMAT (Software Engineering Method and Theory) from 2013 till 2018 which developed OMG Essence standard for software engineering kernel and language.

He retired from KAIST in 2018, and was elected Chairman of Korea Software Technology Association (KOSTA) in 2019. At KOSTA he created and delivered a software training boot camp program, called SW300, for companies pursuing digital transformations. SW300 taught software engineering based on an application development framework called Value-Obsessed Lean Framework (VOLF) which June developed with his colleagues. VOLF applies design thinking, enterprise architecture, lean startup, business analysis, object-oriented design, service-oriented architecture/microservice architecture, agile development, extreme programming, DevOps and enterprise agile framework in a well-integrated manner to developing cloud-native mobile applications required to create an innovative digital business. Thousands of graduate students and corporate employees have been taught VOLF and an increasing number of companies have adopted it, partially or entirely.
