KleanNara(004540) appointed Chair Choi Hyun-su as CEO. CEO Choi is the third-generation owner of KleanNara.
KleanNara said it held a board meeting on the 11th to appoint CEO Choi and decided to shift from the existing system with CEO-President Lee Dong-yeol to a co-CEO structure.
Under this decision, CEO Choi will oversee business, finance, and procurement, while CEO Lee will take charge of the Cheongju plant and human resources. KleanNara expects that each CEO leading decision-making and execution on key issues in their areas will enhance the company's competitiveness and expertise.
CEO Choi, who took office as chair in Dec. last year, set out mid- to long-term growth strategies and laid the foundation for future growth. From the CEO post, Choi plans to focus on business strategy and the finance and procurement units to boost growth and profitability.
CEO Lee plans to improve the Cheongju plant's production competitiveness and operational efficiency, drawing on experience as chief financial officer (CFO) and head of site operations. Lee will also oversee human resources, strengthening competitiveness on the production floor and the organization's execution capabilities.
A KleanNara official said, "This co-CEO structure is a shift in management to link the mid- to long-term growth direction, refined since late last year, to tangible business results," adding, "We will speed up decision-making and execution to strengthen business competitiveness and the organization's execution capabilities."
