Domestic private equity firm IMM Private Equity (PE) announced executive appointments on the 7th. In this round of appointments, Kim Yoo-jin, Head of Operations Division (Representative Executive Officer of Hanssem), and Yoo Heon-seok, Executive Director of IMM PE, were each promoted to Vice President.

This personnel move is interpreted as part of IMM PE President Song In-jun's management approach to reward highly capable employees with rapid promotions.

An IMM PE official stated, "These promotions of long-serving employees who joined in 2009 and 2010 since the company's founding in 2006 are expected to foster a sense of ownership among internal staff, reinforcing that executives and employees are the owners of the company."

Vice President Kim Yoo-jin was appointed as Representative Executive Officer of Hanssem in the second half of this year and turned the company's deficit into a surplus solely through management efficiency without restructuring. Since joining IMM PE in 2009, she has been recognized for successfully leading the sale of Hollys Coffee and overcoming crises at companies such as Able C&C and Hanssem, earning her promotion to Vice President.

Vice President Yoo Heon-seok played a pivotal role in the minority stake sale of Airfirst, which attracted significant industry attention this year. He is credited with recovering the investment principal through the sale of a 30% stake. Notably, during last year's organizational restructuring to a 'single CIO system' at IMM PE, Yoo served as Deputy CIO, reviewing new investments and contributing significantly to IMM PE deals despite challenging market conditions.

An IMM PE official said, "Vice President Kim has earned employees' trust through her integrity and fair work practices, and as IMM PE's first female partner, she laid the foundation for a corporate culture without a 'glass ceiling'." The official added, "Vice President Yoo joined IMM PE in 2010 and has efficiently utilized IMM PE's value-up strategy with an objective and transparent investment philosophy. He has been recognized for consistently delivering results even in difficult market conditions."
