Senior Managing Director at TWGF Partners (South Korea VC/PE)

After eleven productive years at NPS PE, I’m thrilled to join SK Square as a Managing Director, Investment & Partnerships and to be part of its long-prepared journey of growth and global expansion in the ICT/semiconductor space. SK Square is a listed investment holding company (KOSPI, XKRX: 402340) with c. U$5bn market cap as of May 2022, newly created by SK Telecom/SK Hynix group, the unparalleled leader in telco & innovation technology in South Korea and the second largest memory chip maker in the world. With strong backing by SK Hynix as its financial engine and utmost synergy potential from its SK Telecom/Hynix affiliates, it has been one of the leading national acquirer & creator in the ICT/semiconductor space and has built a unique and strong portfolio of top-notch companies such as Wavve (No. 1 home-grown OTT provider in South Korea), One Store (2nd Largest app market in South Korea after Google), Tmap Mobility (No. 1 mobility info provider in South Korea), 11st (Leading e-commerce platform with telco base), SK Shieldus (No. 2 security and home IT provider in South Korea) and Korbit (Emerging licensed digital assets exchange in South Korea). With accelerated acquisitions and global expansion thru partnerships with world-class strategic & financial investors, it intends to become the leading tech/semiconductor-specialized investment company in Asia. I'll welcome any opportunity to work with and any feedback for my new role. At the same time, if there's anything I can assist with my experience while I'm based in Seoul, feel free to reach out.
