Kakao Enterprise is embarking on securing growth momentum centered on the cloud and enhancing business competitiveness through new leadership.

On the 17th, Kakao Enterprise held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and a board meeting, announcing the appointment of Lee Kyung-jin, Vice President and head of the cloud division, as the new CEO.

New CEO Lee Kyung-jin is a cloud expert with about 20 years of experience in the cloud field. He is recognized for his significant contributions to the stable operation of Kakao Enterprise's cloud and elevating its cloud technology to a global level.

In particular, he led the development of VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), which can be completely isolated and independently operated like a private cloud, TGW (Transit Gateway), a network transmission hub used to interconnect on-premises networks, and multi-AZ (Availability Zone) development.

Before joining Kakao Enterprise, he founded Exn2, a cloud and big data machine learning specialized company. After Kakao Enterprise acquired and merged Exn2 in January 2022, he has overseen four divisions: cloud development, strategy, infrastructure, and DX (digital transformation).

New CEO Lee Kyung-jin stated, “The cloud is the future growth engine, and Kakao Enterprise will demonstrate its leap forward centered on the cloud. We will do our best to ensure the smooth execution of ongoing projects, secure sustainable growth momentum, and showcase the qualities of a technology company focused on the essence of the cloud.”
