send our app users tailored forecasts, and with the appropriate consents, we collect their location and device data. We’re constantly evaluating how we collect that data, where we keep it, how we manage it, and who we share it with.”
To ensure AccuWeather stays in compliance with relevant laws, she contracted with OneTrust, a data privacy management platform. “Their software helps us map and manage data and prepare for new technologies and regulations coming down the pike.”
She also decided to go back to school. “One of the biggest myths about the legal profession is that once you have your JD, your professional education is done. Not only am I constantly learning on the job, but financial literacy and other business skills are essential if you want to help your company accomplish its goals,” she observes. So she enrolled in a seventeen-month Global Executive MBA program at the University of Navarra’s IESE Business School in Spain.
“It’s designed to work with a full-time job, so even though I’ll be attending classes in Barcelona and New York City, I’ll still be handling all my AccuWeather responsibilities,” she says. “The coursework is fascinating, I’m learning so much about being a leader, and it’s been really inspiring to meet the other students from Europe, North and South America, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.”
As if all that wasn’t enough to juggle, Chung is also cochair of the New York City chapter of Cornell’s Alumni Admissions Ambassador Network (CAAAN). “We meet with students applying to Cornell, to put a human face on the process. I’m grateful my experiences can help someone else have an easier time.” In volunteering with CAAAN, Chung has come full circle, providing the same kind of assistance she was given at the beginning of her career.
