Description

I am a life sciences strategist with 15+ years across research benches, regulatory bodies, and commercial leadership in EMEA and Asia. PhD in Public Health from Seoul National University, with peer-reviewed publications and EU Reference Laboratory studies in genomics, microbiology, and food-safety research.

Based in the Netherlands as an independent advisor, with focus on Europe-Asia commercial bridges and the intersection of scientific methodology and commercial decision-making in biotech and complex life-sciences technologies.

Open to selective engagements where my domain expertise can add value:

• Commercial Strategy & Partnerships: Europe–Asia go-to-market and partnership development across biotech and diagnostics. Market sizing, ICP definition, pricing, and positioning. Channel strategy, stakeholder mapping, and competitive context when relevant. Sales and operations data analysis to inform commercial decisions. Workshops and capability programs for commercial teams.

• Technical & Scientific Advisory: Short-term R&D project and research support across clinical, environmental, and food-safety domains. NGS workflow design across in vivo, in vitro, and in silico methods, with method validation, proficiency testing, and bioinformatics pipeline architecture (Python, R, Docker). Peer-reviewed manuscripts, technical reports, grant proposals, and regulatory documentation. Workshops and capability programs for scientific teams.

• Digital Infrastructure: Tailored to each company's existing systems: database architecture and integration across technical and commercial operations data platforms. Biobank, LIMS, sales operations, and reporting infrastructure under ISO 17025 & ISO 9001. Platform-flexible across Agentic AI, Python, R, SAP, Power BI, SharePoint, and others already in your stack. Includes agentic AI workspace design where it fits.

Working languages: English, Korean, Dutch (conversational).
