PwC Consulting on the 5th announced the appointment of new CEO Lim Gi-ho, along with promotions to vice CEO and a list of newly promoted partners.
PwC Consulting held a general meeting of employees this morning and made the decision.
Three people, including partners Kim Jae-hwan, Yu Won-seok, and Cha Kyung-min, were promoted to vice CEO, and 11 people were promoted as new partners.
Lim Gi-ho, head of clients and industry, is a key figure who positioned PwC Consulting as a firm leading the management consulting field.
The new CEO Lim will concurrently serve as PwC Consulting's Clients & Industry leader and PwC Korea's chief strategy officer (CSO).
The personnel changes were carried out in tandem with a reorganization that takes effect on July 1. PwC Consulting plans to reorganize its existing nine-headquarter structure into five sectors and seven platforms as of July 1, when the new fiscal year begins.
Moon Hong-gi, CEO of PwC Consulting, said, "These personnel changes and organizational restructuring are a crucial turning point for PwC Consulting to take a further leap in a rapidly changing market environment," and added, "Together with the newly appointed leaders, we will establish ourselves as a consulting firm that creates greater value for clients and the market in a time of swift change."
