[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Pulse, a corporate strategy design specialist company, announced on the 20th that it has appointed Seol Myunghwan as the new CEO.

This appointment was made to strengthen expertise in the capital market, solidify internal capabilities, and establish a foundation for sustainable growth.

New CEO Seol is a capital market strategy expert with over 20 years of experience in IR (Investor Relations) and public relations for KOSPI and KOSDAQ listed companies.

He joined Woongjin Coway through open recruitment in 2002, handling IR publicity and branding strategy. In 2009, he moved to Barun Group, where he served as the head of group communications overseeing IR, public relations, government relations, and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) for six affiliates including Barun Electronics, Barun Technology, iStation, and Korea IT Times.

Founded last October, Pulse analyzes corporate activities, financial statements, and income statements to help improve core competencies and corporate value. It provides comprehensive consulting necessary for shareholder value enhancement, valuation growth, market capitalization management, and fundraising to startups, companies pursuing IPOs, and listed companies.

Following the appointment of the new CEO, the company plans to strengthen the advancement and business expansion of its self-developed IR solution, "Valuation Branding (VB)." VB refers to visualizing the connection between a company’s financial statements, income statements, business models, and corporate storytelling in a multidimensional way.

CEO Seol said, "We will focus on improving the profitability of projects currently underway with startups and listed companies, and plan to expand our business area by providing customized IR branding solutions tailored to new growth industries such as PEF (mid-sized private equity funds)."
