[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Hyung-gil] Samsung Life Insurance announced on the 13th that it conducted a regular executive personnel reshuffle, promoting a total of 11 people, including 4 vice presidents and 7 managing directors.

A Samsung Life Insurance official explained, "We selected vice presidents in divisions that will drive mid- to long-term growth such as digital and global business, expanding the diversity of future CEO candidates."

In particular, they accelerated generational change by boldly appointing vice presidents in their 40s, including Park Jun-gyu, Vice President and Head of the Global Business Team (age 46).

Additionally, to break seniority-based promotion and foster young executives early regardless of age, they integrated the executive ranks of senior managing director and vice president, simplifying the executive rank system to two levels: managing director and vice president.

Samsung Life Insurance plans to announce organizational restructuring and personnel appointments following the executive reshuffle.

Below is the list of promoted executives:
