[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Park Yong-geun, CEO of EY Hanyoung, has been reappointed.

EY Hanyoung announced on the 26th that the reappointment of CEO Park was decided through the partners' general meeting.

Despite difficult internal and external circumstances, CEO Park was recognized for achieving continuous qualitative growth based on strong leadership. Having succeeded in his reappointment, he will lead EY Hanyoung for three years. The reappointment term is from July 2023 to June 2026.

Appointed as CEO of EY Hanyoung in 2020, CEO Park achieved double-digit growth, improved profitability, and spread a horizontal corporate culture during his tenure, despite an environment of economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, US-China trade conflicts, and high inflation.

Since taking office, CEO Park has provided differentiated services based on EY’s global network, digital capabilities, and investments in audit quality in the core areas of accounting audit and consulting. He also made significant efforts to manage and expand key clients and promote synergy and collaboration among service divisions to achieve both external expansion and qualitative growth of the company. Internally, he worked to create a better workplace based on DE&I (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).

To realize EY’s core value of "Building a better working world," he engaged in social contribution activities aimed at creating value by utilizing the skills, knowledge, and experience of employees. Through the EY Best Entrepreneur Award, he discovered companies that have a positive impact on society beyond economic performance, thereby expanding positive influence.

CEO Park said, "The reason we were able to maintain high growth amid high uncertainty was that all employees united and did their best," adding, "Along with external growth, we will strengthen corporate social responsibility and roles, and continue to strive to realize EY’s vision of 'Building a better working world.'"

Meanwhile, CEO Park graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in Business Administration, completed the MBA program at the same university, joined EY Hanyoung in 1995, and was appointed CEO in 2020.
