Independent Professional

A seasoned program management and strategy & operations professional with over 10 years of experience, Jess has a diverse background spanning consulting, PE/VC investing, and corporate strategy & project management. With expertise in due diligence, value creation, strategic planning, and cross-functional leadership, she has successfully navigated complex business environments, driving operational efficiency, business transformation, and high-impact decision-making.

After earning an MBA in 2023, Jess transitioned into strategy consulting, advising private equity clients on growth strategies, market expansion, and investment opportunities. She then worked in venture capital investing, managing a pipeline of 100+ deals and applying deep analytical expertise to identify and assess high-potential startups from pre-seed to Series A.

Before pivoting to the investment landscape, Jess held cross-functional leadership roles at major tech firms, including Samsung and Lyft, where she played a pivotal role in shaping corporate strategy, high-level decision-making, and operational excellence.

Originally from Seoul, South Korea, Jess moved to the U.S. at 15 and embodies the American Dream—overcoming cultural and linguistic barriers to earn a Literature degree at UC Berkeley as a non-native speaker. She pursued her MBA while working full-time, a testament to her work ethic and commitment to personal growth. A firm believer in hard work and the pioneer spirit, Jess embraces challenges as opportunities to innovate, lead, and drive meaningful impact.
