People
Welcome to our team directory. This section helps you understand the roles, responsibilities, and organizational structure at Kyndof—not just who people are, but what they do and why their work matters.
Understanding Our Approach: Position Over Person
At Kyndof, we organize by roles and responsibilities rather than by individuals. This means when you're looking for help or information, you should think about what you need to accomplish, then find the role that handles it.
Why we do this:
- Continuity: When someone moves to a new role or leaves the company, the organizational structure remains stable
- Clarity: You know what to expect from each role, regardless of who fills it
- Flexibility: People can transition between roles without disrupting the organization
- Scalability: We can grow teams by adding more people to established roles
This approach ensures our organization continues to function smoothly even as people change, grow, and move into new opportunities.
How to Use This Directory
You can navigate our team in three ways:
1. By Team (Departments)
If you know which team you're looking for, start here. Each department has its own mission, leadership structure, and collection of roles.
Browse teams: By Team →
Best for: Understanding team dynamics, finding your team's structure, learning about cross-team collaboration
2. By Function (What People Do)
If you need help with a specific type of work—design, sales, operations, support—navigate by function. This helps you find the right expertise across all teams.
Browse functions: By Function →
Best for: Finding expertise, understanding capabilities, identifying who to ask for help
3. By Role Type
If you want to understand career paths, responsibilities, or leadership structures, explore our role categories.

Our Organizational Philosophy
Kyndof operates with several core principles that shape how we organize our teams:
RABSIC Accountability: Every decision and project has clear role assignments (Responsible, Accountable, Backup, Support, Informed, Consulted). When you look up a role, you'll often see references to RABSIC—this tells you who does the work, who approves it, and who needs to be kept in the loop.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Many roles work across team boundaries. You'll see Product Developers in both 2000Archives and 2000Atelier, for example—they share expertise while serving their team's specific mission.
Position Ownership: Every position has an "owner"—the current person filling that role. Owners change over time, but the role's responsibilities remain consistent.
Geographic Distribution: We note locations for roles (e.g., "Seoul") to help with coordination and timezone planning.
Finding the Right Person
When you need help or collaboration:
- Identify the type of work: Is this creative? Operational? Strategic? Customer-facing?
- Find the relevant role: Browse by function or team to locate the role that handles this work
- Check for context: Each role description includes when to reach out and what they can help with
- Understand the chain: Some requests need to go through specific approval chains—role pages explain this
