sales&marketingleadership
Beyond Strategy, Into Execution. I founded YM&Company with a single mission: To be the "Execution Partner" that Asian tech and manufacturing companies desperately need to succeed in the US market. Too many companies fall into the "Missing Middle"—spending years and millions on local hires or strategy reports without generating real revenue. I bridge that gap. I don’t just offer advice; I act as your Fractional Executive (Acting Regional Head), working on the ground to build your pipeline and secure deals. Who I Am: I am a Tri-Cultural Global Business Director with over 22 years of field experience across Korea, Japan, the US, and the Middle East. My career has been defined by "Evidence-based Execution." From establishing joint ventures to securing Guinness World Record contracts, I have generated over $150M in cumulative revenue for global giants like LG, Samsung, and SK. 📍 Career Highlights (Proven Track Record): • SK Intellix USA: Head of Sales & Marketing | Led U.S. market entry and brand establishment. • SAMSUNG SDS USA: Atlanta Branch Manager | Built a $10M logistics pipeline in the SE region. • LG Electronics Japan: Head of B2B Business | Penetrated the highly demanding Japanese market. • LG-MRI (U.S.-Korea JV): Served as COO, driving $22M annual revenue with global retail giants. • LG Electronics MEA HQ: Secured the world’s largest OLED project at the Dubai Mall. What YM&Company Provides: We act as a Triangular Bridge connecting Seoul, Tokyo, and Atlanta. • Cultural Translator: Redefining your product value to fit the US market context. • Super Connector: Direct access to key decision-makers, Georgia Tech, and state government benefits. • Revenue Driver: Directly managing sales and operations to ensure ROI. Personal Values: 🌐 Think Global, Act Local: Deep context on 3 business cultures. 📈 Growth Mindset: Focus on scalable, sustainable revenue. 🤝 Execution First: Strategy is nothing without results. 🚀 Ready to expand to the US? Let’s move beyond reports and start executing. Open for a discovery call to discuss your market entry strategy.
