Drive operational execution of strategic plans, ensuring seamless transition from strategy to measurable results. Direct sales and go-to-market strategy for all Illumina products and services in South Korea, including forecasting and resource planning. Build organizational capability across Market Development, Medical Affairs, Regulatory Affairs, Market Access, and Regional Marketing. Collaborate with global and regional counterparts on critical matters such as competitive positioning, new product launches, and governance for global customers. Strengthen Illumina’s brand in South Korea through partnerships, collaborations, and leveraging the Collaboration Centre.

Execution Orientation: Proven track record of delivering operational and financial performance in dynamic environments. Team Leadership: Ability to inspire and build high-performance teams, influence talent decisions, and lead cross-functional initiatives. Strong communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills to build trust internally and externally. Experience navigating matrix organizations and influencing without direct authority.
