EXPERIENCE

LG Business Research, a think tank of LG, Seoul, South Korea 2014 ~ Present Data Analyst Strategist

Through data analytics and the traditional consulting methodology, I solve a wide range of business issues at LG and report the insights to the top management in a simple and intelligible way.

• Forecast of the probability of fundraising of startups: I built a machine learning model that predicted the fundraising success of LG in-house startups with 90% accuracy, including a forecast of an 80% probability of funding success for the "Shoe-styler" startup that subsequently secured $50 million in investment, fueling the company's growth.

• Research on Generation Z: I Investigated 3,000 samples of Generation Z to explore their consumption patterns and unmet needs. Combined analytic research methodologies were applied for this project; surveys, FGIs, and benchmark studies as qualitative research; an unsupervised clustering technique as quantitative research. Based on the results, LG decided to focus on the gaming industry as a new business opportunity, and launched a wide range of gaming gear, named "Ultra Gear”.

• Forecast of the semiconductor industry supply and demand: I created a predictive model that identifies the timing of the normalization of the semiconductor market, which has been experiencing supply- demand imbalances due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This model provided LG with valuable insights that allowed the company to optimize its $5.3 billion semiconductor procurement plan.

• Forecast of the market demand for the US home appliance market: To predict the market demand for home appliances in the USA, I conducted ARIMA analysis, one of the statistical times series analysis models. As for the qualitative analysis, I facilitated 20+ FGIs and a survey of 2,000 US consumers. Based on the results of this analysis, LG decided to build plantations in Tennessee in 2019.
