I began my business career in 1971 when I established my first outsourcing venture in South Korea. As this, my first company grew quickly I quickly became a leader in procurement, supply-chain and logistics management as well as consumer product distribution. I made my first purchases of products from The Peoples Republic of China in 1980 when I contracted with The China National Textile Import and Export Corporation for the purchase of knitted goods. I have have had vast international business dealings in Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, Turkey, Egypt, Malta, France, Belgium and Italy. It has been my honor to serve the not for profit community over the years. I served The Center For Early Education in West Hollywood California as a Trustee. I was the Board's Treasurer, Vice President and Captial Campaign Co-chair. I have also served Cedars Sinai Medical Center as a member of The Board Governors and The Los Angeles Children's Museum as a member of it's Board of Trustees. My combined business/philanthropic experience has given me great insight into how business and the community can create mutually beneficial relationships concentrating in the areas of Shared Value Creation and Corporate Social Responsibility. This is the center of my focus today. My love for teaching has been expressed as a guest lecturer at the University of Southern California (USC), New York University (NYU), Fashion Institute of Technology New York City (FIT), and The New School in New York City.
