[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Kyungdong Navien has appointed Vice President Kim Jong-wook as the new CEO, accelerating its leap into a lifestyle environment company.
On the 30th, Kyungdong Navien announced that it will shift from the existing sole CEO system under CEO Son Yeon-ho to a dual CEO system with the new CEO Kim to improve management efficiency.
New CEO Kim graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Control and Instrumentation Engineering and earned a Ph.D. in Electrical, Electronics, and Computer Engineering from KAIST. As a CEO with a research background, he has accumulated technical know-how in both hardware and software fields as a development expert, and is recognized as a manager who can design future growth engines for the company by anticipating customer needs in advance.
He previously served as Head of Development Headquarters at Humax, CEO of Humax Automotive, and CTO of Hanwha Techwin. In June 2019, he became CEO of Kyungdongwon, the parent company of Kyungdong Navien, contributing to the expansion of the home network business. Recently, as Vice President of Kyungdong Navien, he oversaw development, production, and quality, leading efforts to strengthen corporate competitiveness.
Therefore, Kyungdong Navien plans to enhance management efficiency further through the appointment of CEO Kim and complete corporate restructuring through the recent social issue of 'digital transformation.'
