Introducing the Founder and Managing Director of GlobalRika

Eun Mee "Aimee" Ko

Ms. Eun Mee “Aimee” Ko is the Founder and Managing Director of GlobalRika, a premier international business development and FDI consulting firm headquartered in Seoul, South Korea (formerly EK Global).

Ms. Ko is a highly esteemed professional recognized for her expertise in facilitating direct investments and supporting foreign companies in securing deals and entering the Korean market.

Given South Korea's export-oriented economy, with around a quarter of its businesses rooted in the manufacturing industry, she has established a robust track record in building business networks across Korea.

Her connections span Chaebols and large corporations to scale-ups and start-ups in various sectors, including, but not limited to, aerospace, advanced manufacturing, advanced materials, chemicals, electronics, automotive, EV batteries, consumer products, AI, ICT, gaming, and LSHT.

“Working with Aimee Ko was an exceptional experience. Her expertise in FDI—from lead generation to investor retention—along with her strong command of high-level communications and engagements with companies across all levels, including SMEs, made her an invaluable partner. Her work greatly advanced our investment promotion initiatives in Korea.”
