I have always aspired to become a successful entrepreneur, which led me to major in Business Administration at university. Inspired by my father, who was also a businessman, I developed a strong passion for understanding people—their thoughts, needs, and motivations—which naturally drew me to the field of marketing and strategic business development.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), corporate finance, and business expansion strategy. While working at Daewoo Group, I played a pivotal role in expanding the company’s portfolio from 17 to 45 affiliated companies within just five years. During this time, I developed deep expertise in IPO preparation, enterprise valuation, capital raising, and regulatory compliance.

I successfully secured funding through both bank financing and capital markets to support increased production capacity and market share growth. As a result, the company achieved an average 300% year-over-year sales increase, with a 200% expansion in manufacturing capacity. After eight years of sustained growth, the company was successfully listed on the stock exchange.

Beyond corporate finance, I have led new product development and established two manufacturing plants in China and one in Vietnam, specializing in electronic components. My international business acumen extends to overseeing franchise operations in the U.S. and forging lasting relationships with both public and private sector leaders across East Asia.

As the only Asian professional integrated into Israel’s Jewish business community, I have built meaningful multicultural relationships and cultivated strong cross-cultural communication skills. I am a firm believer in diversity, collaboration, and global perspective.

My expertise in international marketing is complemented by a deep operational understanding of the Southeast Asian market—a region many global firms find difficult to navigate. I provide strategic insight and local market intelligence that consistently deliver measurable results.

In 2022, I developed a patented lithium battery recycling technology that enables the dry extraction of black powder, nickel, copper, and aluminum from used lithium batteries. This innovation, now formally patented, is poised to generate significant commercial returns as demand for electric vehicles continues to surge worldwide. Based on this breakthrough, I successfully commercialized specialized equipment and launched it at an international trade exhibition in Las Vegas in 2024, marking the beginning of global sales.

Currently, I am actively investing in the hotel and hospitality industry, renewable energy, next-generation technologies, and industrial design. I am also deeply involved in international real estate, bridging Korean properties with global investors and executing cross-border investment strategies. My work has positioned me as a trusted specialist in global property investment.

In the field of clean energy, I have recently focused on small-scale onshore wind power, developing systems tailored for residential and industrial use. These solutions are currently being commercialized to support the transition to decentralized, sustainable energy. In parallel, I am expanding into offshore wind power development, where I aim to play a strategic role in advancing Asia’s green energy infrastructure.

With a global mindset, proven execution capability, and a strong commitment to innovation, I continue to pursue ventures that are sustainable, impactful, and globally scalable.

Sincerely,
Jimmy Lee
