Through a powerful combination of human coaching, psychology, and technology, Saeju and Noom are empowering “Noomers” to take control of their health and change their behaviors for good.
Coming from a family of doctors in South Korea, Saeju has always had an intense desire to help people. From an early age, he knew his life’s work would be dedicated to improving the wellbeing of as many people as possible. After losing his father at a young age, Saeju became more motivated than ever to truly change lives for the better and to channel his entrepreneurial spirit (he founded South Korea’s first-ever heavy metal record label) to make an impact. After dropping out of college and moving to the US, Saeju met his co-founder Artem Petakov, who shared his vision of helping people live healthier lives, and convinced him to leave Google to develop Noom. As Executive Chairman, Saeju is responsible for setting the strategic vision for Noom and has led the company through several years of tremendous growth, helping millions of people improve their lifestyles and health. In 2020, he was named EY Entrepreneur of the Year.
