EMRO, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based supply chain management software corporations, said on the 1st it has nominated Cho Sang-won, a senior vice president at Samsung SDS, as its new CEO.
The CEO-designate, Cho Sang-won, is a non-executive director on EMRO's board and head of the Digital SRM Team in the Solutions Division at Samsung SDS, and has overseen global sales and marketing for the "Caidentia" supply chain management (SRM) software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution jointly developed by EMRO and Samsung SDS.
An EMRO official said, "This personnel decision aims to maximize strategic collaboration synergy between EMRO and Samsung SDS and accelerate the push into global markets such as North America and Europe."
Cho, the designate, will join EMRO starting today and begin practical management and the handover process. EMRO plans to complete the legal appointment procedures through an extraordinary shareholders meeting and board meeting in Jul.
EMRO CEO Song Jae-min successfully completed the three-year term agreed to at the time of Samsung SDS's acquisition of EMRO in May 2023. After stepping down, Song plans to serve as an advisor, playing a pivotal consulting role for a stable management succession and EMRO's continued growth.
