Summary
James Choi is a serial CEO and business developer with a decade-long track record launching products, licensing IP, and scaling consumer and B2B channels across Korea, the U.S., Taiwan, and China. He built and managed large-scale MRO and employee-benefit programs for Samsung affiliates and led product planning for flagship Galaxy releases, then pivoted to franchising and FMCG exports with proprietary Korean chicken sauces and seasonings. As an official licensee for Moncross Switzerland and Kakao Friends he generated $15M in three years and placed licensed SKUs into global convenience chains like 7-Eleven. James also commercialized hardware innovations—pioneering one of the first car DVRs and bringing thermoelectric cosmetic fridges to market—demonstrating an uncommon blend of product R&D and go-to-market muscle. Based in Southern California, he now advises and places Korean, Chinese, and Vietnamese businesses into the U.S. market while leading short-term C-level transformations and ongoing product supply into North American channels. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on operator who turns IP and prototypes into repeatable retail revenue streams.
