Let’s Build Your Success Together!
After retiring in Korea four years ago, I have been living in San Francisco, supporting Korean startups and writing.
We are the generation that has lived through rapid and relentless changes—industrialization, globalization, the information age, the internet era, and the mobile revolution. Perhaps we are the first and last generation to have fully experienced these transformations. And now, we stand at the threshold of an even greater shift: the era of AI.
This transformation goes beyond mere technological innovation; it presents new opportunities where even a small team can achieve the productivity and performance that once required large organizations.
Most importantly, I still have a deep passion for new challenges. I want to share that passion with those who dream of growth and change. Additionally, the extensive networks I have built in both Korea and the U.S. through years of experience can add significant value to your business.
