After spending first 10 years of my life in Seoul (South Korea), me and my family settled in Atlanta Georgia (US) where I lived until I graduated high school. In 1997, I began my studies at Boston University in Pre-law program with major in Political Science. However, I realized my passion was in world of business and took over a small wholesale company in Atlanta at the age of 22. Within 7 years, annual revenue had increased by more than 3 times but US economy was on a downturn due to the housing crisis. By this time, I was married with one child and I decided to sell my company and start my journey in the automotive industry. After a brief stint at Hyundai Motors, I was eventually led to Volkswagen Group purchasing team where I learned most of my trade. I began as a buyer but eventually became senior buyer before becoming a coordinator for interior components for Volkswagen Group of America. During this time, I also furthered my studies in business at University of Tennessee. In my time at VW, I found that I had genuine passion for my job and I enjoyed providing guidance to many companies that needed them. After 10 years at Volkswagen, I saw that industry was changing rapidly towards electrification and joined Rivian Automotive as Senior Purchasing Manager in 2021. This experience was an eye opener as EV start-ups operate very different to traditional OEMs. With all the knowledge I've gained through the years, I realized I can help many companies in many areas that included RFQ bidding process, account management, customer management, claims management and any areas that involves relationship between a vendor and customer. I am confident my knowledge can be a valuable source and it will help to quickly achieve your company's goals.
