ITCEN Group said on the 17th that it carried out its regular executive appointments for 2026.
The reshuffle focused on building AI-centered, strong leadership to respond proactively to the rapidly changing industrial paradigm and on overhauling the organization so AI-based work methods can be embedded across the board.
First, to lead the AX market, leaders with cloud and AI expertise were deployed to front-line roles. Kim Woo-seong, head of ITCEN CLOIT, was promoted to president, and Lee Gyu-jin, head of the AX business unit, was promoted from executive director to senior executive director. ITCEN ENTEC also created a new "VX (Vertical AI Transformation) institutional sector" to lead AX projects in the public sector, and promoted Executive Director Lee Jeong-taek to vice president and appointed Lee as head of the sector. ITCEN GLOBAL strengthened its technology leadership by promoting Senior Advisor (executive director) Kang Gi-sik, who leads the AI Innovation Center under the chief strategy officer (CSO), to principal advisor (senior executive director).
Strengthening execution to secure future growth engines is also central to the reshuffle. New-business organizations were established by legal entity, and talent with proven technical capabilities and expertise were selected and placed forward. Accordingly, ▲ Choi Gyu-sam, head of the Global Sports SaaS business at ITCEN CLOIT, and ▲ Yoon Sang-hun, head of the Enterprise Cloud business, were newly appointed as executive directors, while ▲ Kim Hyeong-gyun, head of services at Korea Gold Exchange Digital Asset, was tapped as an executive director to lead the digital asset finance market.
Performance-based appointments for core talent who have driven the group's growth were also reflected. Kwon Chang-wan, president of ITCEN CTS, who has steered the group's network and infrastructure business and delivered results, was promoted to vice chairman; Chief Financial Officer Jeong Gwang-ho (vice president), who contributed to stabilizing internal work systems and innovating the financial structure, was promoted to president; and Executive Director Han Cheol-su (ITCEN ENTEC), who led the group's "One Sales," was promoted to vice president, receiving recognition for contributions to advancing the group's systems.
An ITCEN Group official said, "This reshuffle is a decision to fundamentally reinvent the organization to formalize the group's AX strategy and accelerate the AI business," adding, "It will serve as an opportunity to further strengthen the leadership system that will drive future growth."
