FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thursday 27 February 2025, United Kingdom: Cavago is proud to announce the appointment of Yushin Son as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). With more than 20 years of experience in data strategy, architecture, and engineering, Yushin’s leadership will be pivotal in driving Cavago’s technological innovation and advancing its strategic vision.

Yushin has an illustrious career marked by leadership roles at prestigious organizations, including JPMorgan Chase, AWS, and Goldman Sachs. In his previous role as Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, Yushin spearheaded the development of scalable data platforms, led the data migration to cloud-based solutions, and implemented transformative data governance strategies. His pioneering work in data mesh and lakehouse architectures enhanced analytics capabilities and empowered decision-making across the enterprise.

Yushin's expertise spans a broad array of technologies, including AWS, Databricks, Apache Spark, Kubernetes, and advanced data engineering practices. His ability to align cutting-edge technology with business goals has consistently delivered significant cost savings and operational efficiencies, making him a visionary leader in the tech space.

“We are thrilled to welcome Yushin as our new Chief Technology Officer,” said Tauseef Qadri, CEO and Founder of Cavago. “His extensive expertise in data and AI platforms, combined with his proven leadership, will be instrumental in driving our technological growth and delivering innovative solutions to our clients and partners.”

Yushin shared his excitement about joining Cavago: “What drew me to Cavago was the striking contrast between its ambitious vision to transform the equestrian ecosystem and the size of the team. This gap presents a tremendous opportunity for me to make a meaningful impact. Moreover, the caliber of the people I’ve met is exceptional—Taz has a remarkable ability to identify top talent, which, in many ways, is 90% of a CEO’s job.”

“As the CTO of Cavago, my role is to define and execute the technology strategy, ensuring alignment with the company’s mission to modernize the equestrian industry. I would oversee product development, system architecture, and engineering best practices while building and leading a high-performing tech team. Ultimately, my responsibility is to transform Cavago’s vision into reality through cutting-edge technology and strategic execution.”

Yushin holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin and numerous industry-recognized certifications, including Kubernetes Application Developer and Databricks Data Engineer. His dedication to fostering collaboration and pushing the boundaries of technology makes him a perfect fit for Cavago’s forward-thinking culture.

Currently based in New Jersey, Yushin admits that he doesn’t have a deep connection with horses, aside from a few short rides during vacations in Arizona and Texas. However, he has a strong love for all animals.

Please join us in welcoming Yushin Son to the Cavago team as our Chief Technology Officer. We are excited for the future under his leadership.
