New President of SK C&C Appointed: Yoon Poong-young, CIO of SK Square

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] Yoon Poong-young, Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of SK Square, has been appointed as the new president of SK㈜ C&C.

SK C&C carried out an organizational restructuring and executive appointments on the 1st.

Appointee Yoon was born in 1974 and earned a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering from Yonsei University. He then attended INSEAD Business School in France and previously worked at IBM Korea.

Since joining SK Telecom in 2007, he has been recognized for enhancing the value of the group and its individual companies through business structure reforms and discovering new investment opportunities at SK C&C, SK Telecom, and SK Square. Additionally, from 2016 to 2017, he served as head of the Planning Division at SK C&C, contributing to laying the foundation for digital transformation projects.

In this organizational restructuring, SK C&C focused on expanding the role of the organization promoting digital asset business and advancing the company-wide business support system.

First, the existing ‘Digital Platform Headquarters’ was expanded and reorganized into ‘Digital Business Headquarters.’ The ‘Cloud Division’ was placed under the ‘Digital Business Headquarters’ to accelerate the SaaS (Software as a Service) transformation of digital assets and create synergy between cloud and AI/Data platforms. To transition to a digital platform and solution-based business model, the integrated product strategy and marketing functions of company-wide assets were also strengthened.

Additionally, a new ‘Business Support Center’ was established to serve as the company-wide risk management control tower. To provide stable services to customers and continuously secure trust, the company is enhancing the company-wide business support system including ▲business risk management (Risk Mgmt.) ▲incident response ▲quality control.

Through this restructuring, SK C&C plans to expand performance creation based on digital assets such as digital platforms and solutions, and achieve innovation in customer-facing services and business execution quality.

Meanwhile, seven new executives were appointed in the executive personnel changes.
