Strategic Advisory & Leadership Enhancement Currently serving as an Executive Advisor following over 28 years of dedicated leadership at Samsung Electro-Mechanics. I am utilizing this transition period to engage with industry networks and prepare for the next executive leadership role. • Strategic Advisory: Providing insights on global B2B sales strategies, automotive component trends, and supply chain optimization. • Management Research: Pursuing a Ph.D. in Management Engineering to integrate data-driven methodologies (Digital Transformation, Performance Analytics) with decades of hands-on P&L experience. • Objective: Ready to leverage deep expertise in Automotive Electronics and Global Operations to drive immediate business impact.

• Held full P&L responsibility for the multi-hundred-million-dollar European entity, leading a 40-person multicultural team across the EMEA region. • Drove 27% revenue growth amid the pandemic and geopolitical crisis , proving turnaround and crisis leadership capabilities. • Leveraged my R&D background to lead the strategic transformation from an IT-focused to a high-value Automotive portfolio, solidifying profitability and market leadership. • My team's performance and customer-centric execution earned prestigious supplier awards from Bosch (2021), Harman (2022), and Aptiv (2023).

• Scaled the automotive MLCC business from 0% to over 10% global market share within four years, establishing it as one of the company's core growth pillars. • My scope later expanded to lead the entire Automotive Sales Group, overseeing both the MLCC (Component) and Automotive Camera Module businesses. • Acted as the central Program Manager (PM) for the business, personally coordinating R&D, manufacturing, and quality teams to secure the first-ever design-wins and Long-Term Agreements (LTAs) with Bosch and Continental. • Built the global market entry strategy, product roadmap, and pricing policies from the ground up , transforming the internal perception of the automotive business from "risk" to "future opportunity."

• Led strategic new technology integration, driving discussions with industry leaders (Qualcomm, Broadcom, NXP) to apply emerging PLP (Panel Level Pan-out) technology to next-generation wireless modules. • Spearheaded the commercialization and design-in strategy for Samsung's new, high-priority RFFE (RF Front End) modules, securing their adoption with the key internal customer, Samsung Mobile.

• Led the flagship Nokia account, securing $100M+ in annual revenue for WLAN modules by successfully breaking the monopoly held by Japanese competitors. • Pioneered the first-ever design-in for Samsung's new wireless charging technology at Nokia, a key strategic win that paved the way for its later adoption in Samsung's Galaxy devices. • To proactively diversify the regional portfolio beyond the core Nokia account, I pivoted and built a new $50M+ camera module business from scratch with Sony Ericsson (a new key customer). • Managed market development and initial promotion activities for Samsung's new ESL (Electronic Shelf Label) business, gaining exposure to the Russian retail market (X5, Magna).

• Started in domestic sales, securing key design-wins for WLAN modules with LG Electronics for both the HP PDA and their first-generation smartphone. • Transitioned to global sales, leading market development for emerging WiMax technology in strategic partnership with Intel (e.g., Intel Developer Forum). • [Breakthrough Win]: Landed the $100M+ strategic victory of securing the Nokia WLAN module business, decisively breaking the monopoly held by established Japanese competitors. • This single Nokia win served as the critical stepping stone for Samsung's entire division—leveling up our R&D, quality, and manufacturing processes—and enabling our future entry into Samsung's Galaxy and Apple's iPhone.

[Career Foundation] End-to-End Business Leadership (R&D to Global Sales) • Selected to join the company's New Business Team for my technical initiative, tasked with pioneering the emerging Digital Communications (ADSL) portfolio and moving from legacy (FBT) products. • As a junior engineer in a team with no prior experts, I was entrusted to lead the entire end-to-end ADSL business lifecycle: from initial business planning and R&D to manufacturing process setup, global certification, and technical promotion. • Personally led technical sales and interoperability testing with global carriers, including British Telecom, Telefonica, Yahoo Japan, and Singtel. • This foundational experience in managing the full technical and commercial lifecycle (R&D to Global Sales) became the catalyst for my transition into the global B2B sales organization.
