I was born in Seoul, Korea, and spent my childhood moving around the world every few years due to my parents’ work in diplomacy. I lived in Asia, South America, North America, and Europe, and those experiences shaped how I see the world and who I’ve become.
My entrepreneurial journey began in high school in South America, where I transformed one of my father’s living rooms into a startup hub. I placed a newspaper ad offering consulting services to small Ecuadorian businesses on setting up PC-based operations. The venture’s success led me to hire my younger brother and ignited a lifelong passion for launching successful businesses.
Over the past three decades, I’ve had the privilege of working in the technology industry. My early career was shaped at Accenture, followed by a partnership role at PwC Consulting. I then spent a decade as an executive at IBM, driving growth for our top 100 accounts in North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Most recently, I spent ten years at Samsung SDS, the technology arm of Samsung, where I started as Chief Strategy Officer and advanced through senior leadership roles in global business development, solution and IT services—ultimately serving as CEO of our $2B North America business.
What drives me is creating businesses that endure. Today, technology is no longer just a support system for a company’s strategy; it defines it. I joined Delta-v because it offers the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional talent and combine capital, technology, and entrepreneurship to build something that leaves a lasting impact.
