Hi, I am Philip Sung.
안녕하세요. 성필규 대표입니다.
.. and I am the Founder of InterCross Global.
Having called the UK my home for over 30 years, I have dedicated more than two decades of my career to bridging Asia and Europe.
I view this work not merely as a business transaction but as a purposeful mission to sow seeds of mutual growth and lasting transformation.
I truly believe that no connection is accidental. When we intentionally intersect paths of goodwill, we turn this philosophy into action, creating international partnerships that are far greater than the sum of their parts.
Driven by Experience,
Guided by Purpose
Having deeply navigated the business, governmental, and academic landscapes of both continents, I understand that true cross-border collaboration requires more than just language translation.
It demands absolute integrity, institutional fluency, and mutual respect. My philosophy is rooted in the principle of stewardship, treating every partnership, every young professional’s career pathway, and every institutional dialogue as a profound trust.
Our mission is to seamlessly align these paths, creating a powerful legacy of integrity, mutual growth, and 'good change' that extends far beyond geographical borders.
Uncompromising Quality
Your organisation’s reputation is as important to me as my own. Whether introducing high-calibre talent through our Talent Crossing programmes or coordinating high-level meetings, I ensure every candidate and delegation is strictly vetted to meet your professional standards.
Proven Credibility
Over the past 20 years, I have had the privilege of personally facilitating and interpreting for more than 300 high-profile delegations, connecting major South Korean government ministries, corporate giants, and public entities with premier UK and European institutions.
Frictionless Collaboration
By managing complex cross-continental logistics, cultural nuances, and bureaucratic compliance behind the scenes, my team and I eliminate the friction of international partnerships to deliver a seamless experience from start to finish.
