Son Tae-seung Opens Digital Office at Namsan... Personally Oversees Digital Innovation

Son Tae-seung, Chairman of Woori Financial Group

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] Woori Financial Group has accelerated its digital innovation efforts.

On the 14th, Woori Financial announced that the group's Digital & IT division and Woori FIS Digital Development Headquarters have completed their relocation to the Woori Financial Digital Tower, and that Chairman Sohn Tae-seung's 'Digital Office' has also been established.

The Woori Financial Digital Tower refers to the Woori Financial Namsan Tower located opposite the Woori Bank headquarters in Hoehyeon-dong, Seoul. Following the Digital Finance Group of Woori Bank, which was previously housed there, the digital divisions of each group company have joined, establishing it as the group's definitive digital control tower.

Woori Financial explained that the launch of the Digital Tower is based on Chairman Sohn's commitment to 'digital innovation.' Chairman Sohn has repeatedly emphasized that "digital innovation is now a matter of survival."

Additionally, to expand digital synergy at the group level, Woori Financial has created a work environment optimized for digital collaboration. With about 240 digital development personnel from the IT subsidiary Woori FIS working in the same space, joint planning among group companies as well as the period from planning to development can be drastically shortened.

In particular, by establishing Chairman Sohn's Digital Office in the same space as the operational departments, an environment has been created where he can personally oversee the digital innovation process and strengthen communication with the working-level staff.
