She introduced the company, its products and solutions, Henkel's recognition and influence in the Korean market, and its Songdo Plant, which serves as the Asia-Pacific production hub.
Her appointment as Country President marked a historic moment as the first female Korean national to lead Henkel Korea.

Established in 2017, the WIR program connects female executives from various industries and countries, facilitating two-way exchanges that transcend professional backgrounds and job titles, ultimately aiming to share perspectives and create mutual benefits. She currently serves as a mentor in the mentoring program, which includes participation from female mid-level managers across diverse industries.
