Don Jeong
President & CEO
Thomas Consultants Korea Inc.

Mr. Don Jeong is President & CEO of Thomas Consultants Korea Inc. (based in Seoul). Mr. Jeong has been involved with major real estate development projects in Korea and many other countries for the past 15 years.

Mr. Jeong began his career with D.I. Shin International, a Hawaiian architectural design firm, as an architect and assumed his first business leadership position as CEO with Triangolo Business Group in the United States.

Before his position at Thomas Consultants, Mr. Jeong had been exposed to multiple businesses during his career back in Korea with major companies such as Samsung, Media Valley, Centum City, MJ Think and De Partners where most of his works had been focused on real estate development strategy planning.  

He has been actively involved with mega-scale urban development projects initiated by central and local Korean governments.  He is also well-known for his extensive expertise in resort development.   

He has a clear principle of how our projects are handled and decisions are made, that is, a market-oriented way of thinking in careful consideration of end-users’ needs, not following suit of conventional practices typified by the “construction first” policy neglecting the demand market. He always urges his team to present a strategic methodology that formulates the new paradigm reflecting the shift in the development market from the supplier dominance to the consumer ascendancy.

Mr. Jeong graduated from Pratt Institute in the United States with BFA and earned an MBA in Marketing from Korea University.
