Inquire01 / Spring
A structure is designed for its surroundings. So is a partnership.
The name
The name Hanok has two special meanings for us. Hanok is the term for traditional Korean architecture that considers the design of the structure in relation to its surroundings, with careful thought to the impact in the local community and the changing of the seasons. We help build our client companies knowing the best companies are those carefully considering the ever-changing nature of customers, suppliers, and employees.
We’d love to share the second meaning when we meet face to face.

03 / Autumn
The only true measure is the quality of the work, in the words of the people who lived it.
In their words
Some of the companies we’ve worked with, and what their leaders said about the work.
I met Jeff several years ago when I recruited him to be our COO and successor to our CEO. He’s a quick study and one of the very few 5 star guys I’ve known.
Focus of impact: Public sector growth, operational and service excellence
Jeff’s been a fantastic advisor, friend, and mentor throughout our company’s journey. From the very beginning Jeff wasn’t afraid to roll his sleeves up and jump into the mix. Everything from helping develop financial models to opening up his network to connect with valuable manufacturers, investors, and strategic partners. As a man of high integrity he’s a natural leader, critical thinker, and exactly the type of guy you want in your corner when you’re fighting to build and scale an impactful business. He’s a big part of why we’re here today.
Focus of impact: Growth strategy, investor strategy, and operations support
Jeff’s sharp business sensibilities and long-term vision never cloud his kindness and humility. He has helped our company clarify our goals, better understand our mission, and put strategy into tangible action. He’s willing to put in the work and always leads by example, bringing out the best in everyone around him. It’s been a pleasure for us to get the chance to work with and learn from Jeff.
If Jeff promises something, he won’t rest until it has been accomplished. His dedication and passion for the projects he commits himself to is evident in the very tangible results he consistently produces.
Focus of impact: Growth strategy, investor strategy, and customer negotiations
Further voices
Jeff’s experience and insight were extremely beneficial to us in negotiating our investment in Setel PowerLine, and his strategic advice post investment has been vital to our development.
Focus of impact: Growth strategy, investor strategy, and product commercialization
Jeff is instrumental in his insightful analysis both of our strategic opportunities and building of our financial models and options available to us. He’s made the real issues more transparent and facilitated our decision path to some really exciting outcomes.
Focus of impact: Growth strategy, operations strategy, and acquisition support
Jeff literally changed the game for my small business. My thinking expanded massively when he showed me the value I can add to my clients and how to profit from it. Can’t say enough on how his wisdom made all the difference for our company.
Focus of impact: Growth strategy, new market entry, and innovation
