SEOUL, December 09 (AJP) - South Korea’s MegazoneCloud is accelerating its expansion in the United States, targeting $300 million in revenue next year as demand for artificial intelligence and cloud migration continues to rise.
The company said it will deepen cooperation with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and expand its U.S. workforce and sales network to drive growth. U.S. revenue stood at $29 million last year.
The expansion plan was unveiled at the annual AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas on Dec. 3. Chief Executive Officer Yeom Dong-hoon, newly appointed U.S. Chief Revenue Officer John Providence and Chief Technology Officer Scott Weber outlined plans to scale operations in major markets including New York, California and Texas.
MegazoneCloud said its strategy centers on a close alliance with AWS. Yeom said his experience leading AWS’s global partner organization would help the company expand strategic partnerships and address gaps in AWS’s professional services capability.
“We will fill demand that AWS cannot meet directly due to resource constraints,” Yeom said.
The company plans to move beyond cloud infrastructure management into higher-value services such as generative AI, data modernization and quantum computing. It currently operates an in-house AI platform, “Air Studio,” and a security brand, “Halo."
Initial target industries include automotive, manufacturing and financial services. The company said it plans to expand from its existing work with Hyundai Motor America to broader automotive supply chains and pursue large-scale projects with U.S. clients, including the PGA Tour.
To improve efficiency, MegazoneCloud said it will establish a 24-hour operating model by integrating engineers in South Korea and Vietnam with U.S.-based teams, using time-zone differences to provide continuous development and support.
Despite perceptions that the U.S. market is mature, Yeom said substantial growth opportunities remain.
“We aim to deliver meaningful results in the U.S. by applying proven strategies from Korea and Vietnam,” he said.
