Meet Jiwoo, our new intern from Busan, South Korea.

Jiwoo enjoys work that requires her to be versatile and engage with various people. G3 Partners offers practical marketing and growth services to startups, meaning we tackle challenging business problems and work with multiple stakeholders on a daily basis. Not only does the work closely match Jiwoo’s interests, but she was also drawn to the fact that the G3 office requires high levels of proficiency in multiple languages, which complements her multicultural background and skill sets.

Jiwoo is looking forward to gauging with startups to identify their business problems, provide adequate solutions, and execute in an efficient manner. “Just from my first week here, I was given initiative to lead projects that require creative thinking and technical skillsets. It’s an invaluable opportunity to gain such hands-on experiences in multiple industries within the startup ecosystem, and I look forward to tackling a variety of challenges during my time here.”

When she’s not in the office, Jiwoo loves to stay active and explore the city. You can either find her hanging out at the CrossFit gym 🤾‍♀️ or riding a 따릉이 (city bike) 🚴‍♀️ at Han River park!
