CrowdWorks announced on the 8th that it will recruit overseas experts from Samsung Group and Hyundai Motor as outside directors to become a global artificial intelligence (AI) company.


CrowdWorks will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on the 20th of next month. An agenda to appoint three outside directors has been submitted. Kim Tae-sung, Vice President of Renesas Electronics Korea, who served as the head of the global sales division at Hyundai Motor Company, was named.


Seo Jae-il, who served as the head of Samsung SDS's European branch, and Lee Jong-dae, co-founder of Hong Kong investment firm Carret Private Investments Limited, were also included in the list of outside director candidates for CrowdWorks. Lee is a foreign market expert known domestically as an advisor and investor for U.S. Nasdaq-listed companies.


Taking this opportunity to recruit outside directors, CrowdWorks plans to strengthen its defense, B2G, enterprise AI, and industry-specific specialized AI businesses. Based on its experience in executing steadily growing enterprise AI projects, the company will expand its business areas to include manufacturing AI and consumer AI sectors, where high demand is expected.



Kim Woo-seung, CEO of CrowdWorks, introduced the outside director candidates as "individuals who have secured not only expertise but also exceptional insight into market trend changes through long experience in their respective industries." He added, "As CrowdWorks is seeking changes for greater growth, we expect them to greatly contribute to strengthening the company's new growth model."
