At CJ Logistics, Korea’s largest logistics corporation, I oversee business operations impacting 750+ employees, driving process optimization, performance improvement, and cross-functional collaboration. I am also actively involved in recruiting, contributing to workforce planning and organizational development. Previously, I served as a Business Development Manager at an international non-profit organization, where I led a team of 110+ volunteers, spearheaded large-scale international events, and worked closely with the Uzbekistan Embassy and Korean government on diplomatic and cultural initiatives. I also supervised marketing campaigns and partnership development across regions. This experience deepened my ability to manage stakeholders, build cross-cultural collaborations, and lead diverse teams in mission-driven environments. My earlier roles in education and administration further strengthened my communication and organizational skills in multicultural settings. Key Strengths & Focus Areas: 1. Business Operations & Process Improvement: Streamlining logistics and administrative workflows, reducing inefficiencies, and implementing scalable systems for sustainable growth. 2. International Sales & Business Development: Experience in B2B/B2C sales, overseas market expansion, client relationship management, and revenue generation. 3.

Cross-Border Communication & Cultural Intelligence: Fluent in English, Korean, Russian, and Uzbek—enabling seamless collaboration across global teams and international partners. 5. Team Leadership & HR Coordination: Leading large teams with a focus on performance management, employee engagement, and inclusive workplace culture. 6. Strategic Planning & Project Execution: Driving key initiatives from strategy to execution while aligning KPIs with broader business objectives. With a strong foundation in both strategic planning and hands-on execution, I bring a global perspective and a collaborative mindset to every challenge. My professional background supports roles that require operational excellence, international growth strategy, and people-centered leadership.
