I started my career as a researcher performing chemical analysis of various battery materials at my current company, LG Chem.After three-and-a half years of studying the underlying principles behind various phenomena in a chemist's perspective, I got started on my new career path switching to technology planning department. My role was to incubate mid-to-long term R&D projects and shorten the duration of times for them to be successfully transformed into commercialization. In order to do so, I had to cover a number of jobs from market/technology intelligence (MI/TI) to Open Innovation. During my experiences in these works, I have covered a variety of topics as well. Afterward, I worked in R&D planning team of Research Center to build/manage a technology roadmap in preparation of future R&D for battery materials in collaboration with many related teams/departments.Currently, I am working as a team leader of Business Development Team located in San Jose, covering the field of Open Innovation, Investment Strategy, and Market Intelligence specifically focused on North America.
