ABOUT JAMES JAEWON KANG
I am a Managing Director and turnaround-focused CEO currently leading Cheil Austria and Cheil Hungary, with regional responsibility across Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, and the Baltic region.I have built and restructured marketing, commerce, and service businesses across Asia-Pacific and Europe, working with global clients including Samsung in complex, multi-market environments.Previously, I founded and scaled Cheil New Zealand, taking the agency from inception to a fully operational business with USD 4M annual revenue and 36+ employees. I served as the primary account lead for Samsung, establishing long-term client partnerships while building a scalable operating model and high-performing team.I was then appointed to take over Cheil Austria and Hungary, two structurally challenged European entities, with a mandate to stabilize operations, restore financial discipline, and rebuild profitable, scalable operating models across the region.My focus is not on running comfortable organizations, but on fixing complex ones aligning cost structures, rebalancing client portfolios, rebuilding sales pipelines, and turning global client relationships into strong local P&L.I specialize in situations where strong brands and blue-chip clients exist, but operational discipline, margin, and growth need to be rebuilt across multiple countries.
