SK Magic Appoints Kim Wan-seong as New CEO
Responding to Changes in the Business Environment
Promoting AI-Based Business Innovation
SK Magic announced on the 30th that it will appoint Kim Wan-sung as the new CEO to respond swiftly to the rapidly changing business environment. CEO Kim previously served as the head of the BM Innovation Center at SK Materials and played a pivotal role in enhancing corporate value following the company's mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and joint venture (JV) deals. Alongside this, SK Magic appointed Jeong Han-jong, a non-executive director of SK Magic who has led SK Networks' global investments and new growth businesses, as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Going forward, SK Magic plans to focus on advancing research and development (R&D) to strengthen its agile management system and technological competitiveness. To this end, the company will expand beyond its traditional rental and home appliance business to apply artificial intelligence (AI) technology across its entire business spectrum, including products and services, driving digital transformation (DT). This will involve reorganizing the organizational structure by enhancing operational efficiency in existing businesses and expanding new growth promotion teams.
