Description

In this episode of Aon at the Top, I sit down with Dave Chun, co-founder and CEO of Equilar, to explore his remarkable journey from Korean immigrant to pioneering entrepreneur in executive intelligence. We dive into how early experiences with discrimination built his resilience, the story behind founding Equilar during the dot-com crash, and his company's evolution from SEC data mining to becoming the trusted source for Fortune 500 executive compensation and governance insights. Dave shares candid lessons about entrepreneurial grit, the importance of CEO peer networks, and how Equilar's latest AI innovations are revolutionizing corporate governance research.
