About me: I am a South Korean strategy consultant with a passion for the intersection of finance, data and technology. Before joining LBS, I worked at Mastercard Advisors in Seoul, where I led data-driven strategy and marketing projects for leading financial institutions and fintechs across Asia. My work focused on helping clients design digital products, optimise operations and accelerate customer growth through analytics and insights.
These experiences deepened my interest in how technology can advance inclusion and innovation, leading me to explore the intersection of strategy, fintech and digital transformation. At LBS, I am expanding this focus through both coursework and leadership roles in the FLII and Asia clubs, while engaging with the Tech Club and Beauty Society to connect business, technology and creativity.
On a personal level, I enjoy Pilates and yoga and find inspiration in design and contemporary art. I like to spend weekends exploring Tate Modern, the Saatchi Gallery and the V&A, attending Frieze London and Seoul, and participating in the Art and Business Club to explore the art scene across the city.
Three topics I can be approached about: Why choose LBS and life in London; consulting; fintech.
