About Me

In a word? Curious. I love to venture down rabbit holes with strangers. I was adopted and left South Korea as a baby, but my love of fermented cabbage and bright, shiny things remains strong. I believe in the power of audacious founders + bold capital to solve big problems.

“Take the baking of bread... those cracks, in one way a failure of the baker’s profession, somehow catch the eye and give particular stimulus to our appetite” - Marcus Aurelius

What do you do at Blackbird?

My mission is to connect LPs with all things Blackbird, and to surface and solve their pain points. But we are not only stewards capital - we also want to bring some magic to their lives.

What did you do before Blackbird?

My happiest days were in hospitality, in the golden era of Cosmopolitans and foam on every plate. I've most recently been in sustainable finance and prior to that, all things funds management.

What do you believe that others do not?

Being the first to say hello is a superpower.

What ideas are you excited by right now?

Ideas so dangerous that ethics are front and centre.
