My Story

"I majored in biochemistry at Seoul National Unversity to develop cancer drugs. Hoping to find a business development career in a global biotech company, I began a career in management consulting and earned an MBA from Kellogg School of Management in the USA. I was led to the medical devices industry, starting from Stryker as Marketing & Business Development Director and moving to Samsung Medison, Samsung's medical device division and Intuitive Surgical as General Manager & Vice President in Korea. With the knowledge in diagnostics and surgical products, I invested in and helped a Korean start-up developing surgical staplers. Founding Panacea Company, I am using my knowledge and network to accelerate the market access and the marketing of innovative healthcare products."
