Ilkook (Ethan) Kim (김일국)

Leader at LG Electronics (HQ, Marketing Data Science & Engineering)

Working with Ankur for seven years, both as Sales Manager at LG Electronics and as Product Director for the Nepal market, was an incredibly rewarding experience for me. Not only did I learn a great deal, but I also had the privilege of working with a remarkable business partner and friend.
As a business partner, the achievements we made together continue to fill me with pride. When many viewed the high-end electronics market in Nepal as a challenge, Ankur and I identified key marketing strategies through countless discussions. Over the course of two years of consistent marketing, we were able to grow the market by more than tenfold. Executing such a sustained marketing effort over a prolonged period speaks volumes about Ankur’s commitment and execution—qualities that any professional in the industry would immediately recognize.
What sets Ankur apart, in my opinion, is not only his exceptional skills as a marketer—his market insights, ability to derive actionable strategies, passion for marketing and business, and tireless determination in the face of uncertainty—but also his strengths as a team player. His communication skills and leadership in bringing together colleagues, superiors, and subordinates alike are truly admirable.
Though I have since transitioned to the field of data science, the experience of pioneering the high-end electronics market in Nepal with Ankur remains one of my most significant and cherished achievements. I can confidently say that much of that success is due to having such an outstanding business partner in Ankur.

Ankur is a sincere, hardworking professional and overall a very pleasant person to work with. His ability to take charge and see through a situation actively collaborating across teams is something I came to admire. That is irrespective of the nature of assignment and whether or not it falls in his domain of expertise. He can be credited with building the one and only sustainable profitable business of an otherwise large group - that should say something about him! Wish him all the best, in whatever he does.
