I step in where strategy ends and execution breaks.
Publishing across Asia's 4 major language markets — translating one idea across borders.
I-Banker Turned Tech Journalist
Strategic Narrative Filmmaker
CEO's Growth Execution Partner
Three decades closing deals across Asia taught me one thing: capital doesn't move on technology. It moves on how people experience the story around it.
From structuring $2B+ in investments at GE Capital and Korea Development Bank, to interviewing 150+ CEOs on camera, to producing a CES 2025 Innovation Award film in 90 days — I've built a career at the intersection of capital markets, storytelling, and narrative filmmaking.
These days I sit with CEOs through the part most advisors skip — the execution after the strategy deck closes.
"The bottleneck migrated from the lab to the deployment environment. Most organizations are still staffed for the old bottleneck."

High-impact brand positioning through strategic storytelling and investor communications. Contributing to TechNode, e27, and The Korea Economic Daily.

Career Path
$2.3 trillion disappears not because technology fails — but because humans don't work the way we design for.
Selected Work
