Currently based in SF. Lived in Toronto and NYC. Occasional long stays in LA. Grew up between Seoul and Vancouver. Canadian on the extraordinary visa in the US.
Built products and operations at Brex and Mercury, alongside founders and investors I learned a great deal from.
Moonlighted as a film production assistant in my spare time, where I encountered a problem I wanted to solve, at the intersection of entertainment production & fintech. Got myself an internship to learn the workflows at a TV studio running $100M+ in production a year.
Raised a pre-seed and built Centerpiece — intelligent payment tracking software for film and TV production finance teams.
Sold it to a film and TV tax incentive software company and joined as CPO. That was a year ago.

Now exploring my next venture in fintech, media, or robotics. Angel invested in 2 startups. Occasional deals via SPVs.
