CEO Message

At BrandUp Korea, our mission is simple: to make Korea more accessible
to the world, and the world more accessible to Korea.

With over 10 years of experience living and working in Korea, I’ve seen
business from every angle—marketing, sales, customer service, product
development, branding, and logistics. I witnessed firsthand the hurdles
Korean companies face when entering global markets, and the
challenges they encounter in accessing foreign talent.

Becoming a founder myself, I also experienced the gaps that
foreign-owned companies face when entering Korea, and the unique
challenges start-up owners must overcome to establish and grow their
businesses here. These experiences inspired me to create BrandUp
Korea: a bridge connecting global opportunities with Korean expertise.

At the heart of our work is a commitment to mutually beneficial partnerships and inclusivity, ensuring that diverse voices and perspectives are represented and empowered. We provide practical, culturally informed solutions—from market entry and branding to partner-matching, recruiting, and education—helping our clients achieve sustainable growth and meaningful impact.

I look forward to walking alongside you on your global journey.
