SK Securities will switch to a dual CEO system with Jeon Woo-jong and Jung Joon-ho starting in March. The current CEO, Kim Shin, will step down from the front lines of management.

According to SK Securities on the 6th, the Executive Candidate Recommendation Committee recommended Jeon Woo-jong and Jung Joon-ho as CEO candidates. If they are appointed as inside directors through the 'board member appointment agenda' at the shareholders' meeting scheduled for the end of March, a board meeting will be held on the same day to appoint them as co-CEOs.

Director Jung was born in 1966 and graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in Public Law. He joined SK Securities after serving as team leader of IB1 Division at Daishin Securities. At SK Securities, he held positions such as head of the Strategic Planning Office and director of the Hong Kong branch.

The other co-CEO, Jeon, was born in 1964 and graduated from Sogang University with a degree in Business Administration. Jeon has served as co-CEO of SK Securities since the end of 2022. Industry insiders expect the new CEO Jung to oversee internal controls and organizational management, while CEO Jeon will be in charge of sales.

The outgoing CEO Kim has led SK Securities for 11 years since 2014. Kim entered the capital market through Ssangyong Securities (now Shinhan Investment Corp.) and previously served as CEO at Mirae Asset Securities and Hyundai Securities (now KB Securities).
