Yulee | 유리 | 有利
Founder | Investigative Analyst | Trial Strategist
利, the Chinese character for advantage and sharpness,
is more than a symbol—it’s part of my name and who I am.
I was named 유리 / 有利 (yǒu lì),
which means *to have advantage.*
But advantage isn’t inherited.
It’s earned—by being underestimated.
I take in fast-moving information
while others are still catching up.
I observe while engaging.
Disarm while decoding.
My edge is perception.
I read people, power, and
the spaces between. I turn nuance
into strategy—and clarity into leverage.
