Summary

I have truly unique and in depth experience of working in South Korean as a Marketing / Business Development expert. Korean business culture is both simple and complex. It's simple because Koreans are straightforward and honest but it's also complex because they do not trust or give credit easily. They also value trust and friendship much more. All marketing activities concerning Korea have to keep this in mind. I also possess the people skill to penetrated into this market and reap and expand success.
