10. Resume – career summary
Groomed as a thought leader through the young leadership programme by British Council, I am keenly
interested in empowering talents by facilitating and delivering learning and development modules,
workshops and 1 on 1 coaching sessions. The organization's approach of engaging general public to address and
promote the necessity of being aware of social issues - i.e. Climate Change, Social Enterprise, Engagement
Education through football etc.- fundementally contributed to founding my perspectives and principles.
At Robert Walters, a global recruitment consulting firm, I had an honor to meet and register 772 candidiates
who are bilingual professionals across Finance/Accounting, Financial Services and SCM and I have filled in
CFO/CSO across startups and large enterprises, established the Korea team of a securities firm and also a
venture capital diagnising their talent needs and the status of their employer branding.
With an idea that a recruiter is the major audience for the whole career history of a candidate, observed and
assessed their capacities and pitching skill and walked them through what it takes to land on their dream
jobs, which led to successful placements worth billions of billing.
On the other note, I have managed the team of 4 people achieving 120% of the team budget target while
every team member's also hitting the individual budget altogether and more importantly, creating friendly
and well liked comradery together.
I am newly taking the HR, Talent Development role at Konstellation as well as VegaX, a rising leader in the
blockchain scene waring multiple hats of talent attraction, building up the organizational culture etc.
Plus, I also newly started taking the Masters in Decision Analytics at Minerva University with personal
focus on developing HR Analytics skills and insights.

15. PEROSONAL STATEMENT
“…강원도 속초시에서 유년기와 청소년기를 모두 보내면서 동해 바다와 설
악산을 늘 옆에서 보고 자랐습니다. 바다의 막연한 수평선이 주는 광활함 때
문인지, 살아 꿈틀거리는 것 같은 설악산 산줄기의 용맹함 때문인지 드넓은
세계에 대한 강한 호기심과 동경이 일찍이 어린 마음 한 구석에 자리 잡았습
니다. 대관령으로 가로 막힌 속초라는 소도시에서 문화적 혜택을 받지 못하
였기 때문일 수도 있지만, 설악산과 동해 바다처럼 웅장하고 균형 잡힌 세상
이 언젠가 나를 기다리고 있을 것이라는 막연한 믿음이 더 크게 작용한 듯합
니다. 보다 더 정확한 이유는, 아마도 가정이라는 곳에 대한 불안함으로 인하
여 언제나 논쟁에 노출되어 있었고, 제 안의 답답함과 불균형을 해소시켜 줄
수 있는 균형 잡힌 이상향이 필요했기 때문일 것입니다…”

16. PEROSONAL STATEMENT
“…언어는 스스로의 마음을 들여다보고, 수많은 감정의 결을 집어낼 수 있는
해상도 그리고 그 마음의 결만큼의 언어를 집어내 타인에게 얼마나 정확하게
전달할 수 있느냐에 따라 그 깊이가 결정된다고 생각합니다. 아마도 제 스스로
를 들여다보고 마음의 탄력성을 기를 수밖에 없는 여건이 언어 감각을 탁월하
게 만들었을 것 입니다. 가슴 아프게도 요즘은 어쩐지 뻔해져 버렸지만, 제게
는 전혀 뻔하지 않았던 경제적 어려움이라던가 또는 가정이라는 불완전함 속
에서, 그럼에도 제 꿈의 크기를 왜곡하여 바라보지 않고, 더 넓은 세상을 순수
하게 동경하며 나아갈 수 있었던 힘은 모두 언어를 통한 학습 능력, 영어에 대
한 높은 이해도, 무엇보다 제 손을 항상 놓지 않고 잡아주었던 친구들과 선생
님 그리고 어머니와 나눈 마음에서 비롯되었을 것 입니다...”
