About

I’m a Talent Acquisition expert with 15+ years of experience across APAC, with deep expertise in Japan and Korea, shaped by roles at Disney, Wipro, Netflix, Slack, Indeed, Rakuten, and startups. Trilingual in Korean, Japanese, and English, I specialize in building hiring strategies for global companies operating in complex talent markets, while elevating candidate and hiring manager experiences. I believe the right job can change a person’s life — and I love connecting great people with meaningful work.
