FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Linkage Continues Global Expansion. Opens New Office in Korea
BURLINGTON, MASS. (February 10, 2006) - Linkage, Inc. announced that it is expanding its
international reach by establishing a new office in Korea this month.
Linkage-which is headquartered in Burlington, MA-has regional offices in Minneapolis, Atlanta, San Francisco, Singapore,
Tokyo, London and Brussels. Future partnerships in Southern Africa, Western Europe, China, Romania, Taiwan and several
other locations are to be expected in the coming months.
Linkage's Korean office is doing business under the name of Linkage Korea. It will be headed by Soomo Moon, who prior
to founding Linkage Korea, provided HRD/HRM and OD expertise as an employee of Samsung, Korea Management Association and
Applied Materials, as well as through GIANS, a transformative consulting firm that he founded to provide leadership
development programs and HR client consulting services.
"It is my belief that we have found the perfect partner in Soomo Moon to grow our operations in Korea. I am looking forward
to working closely with Soomo, and to leveraging his intrinsic knowledge of the Korean culture to successfully bring our OD
and leadership development expertise to clients and businesses in the region." says Phil Harkins, CEO of Linkage, Inc.
During his six years of work and study in the United States, Soomo Moon developed a strong interest in creating conditions
for Korean ex-patriots to thrive in other cultures. He incorporates that focus in his work of developing global leaders.
After the grand opening of Linkage Japan in Tokyo just a few months ago, this new partnership strengthens Linkage's
already growing influence in Asia. It also demonstrates Linkage's commitment to expanding its international business, and
to developing its leadership and organizational development practices on a global level.
