CJ Group carried out its regular executive appointments focused on promoting new management leaders on the 18th. Nearly twice as many as last year, 40 people were named as new management leaders.
On this day, CJ Group said, "To achieve our midterm strategy by fully pushing forward the group's future and global growth, we boldly selected talent with high growth potential," and added, "Following the CEO appointments in Oct., we have completed building executive lineups at each affiliate to lead growth."
This round of appointments notably centered on selecting young talent. A total of five people in their 30s, including two 36-year-old women leaders, were promoted as new management leaders. Those born in or after the 1980s accounted for 45% of the total. By actively selecting next-generation young leaders to lead change and innovation in each business, the strategy is to add momentum to fully launching future and global growth.
The policy of selecting women talent was also clear. Among those promoted as new management leaders, there were 11 women in total (27.5%), and the proportion of women executives across the group rose to 19% from 16%. In Olive Young, where female customers make up a high share, women executives account for 54%, and the commerce division has risen to 46%.
Regardless of age or rank, opportunities for growth were also given to outstanding personnel with specialized expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and data, and to talent who will lead the group's global leap.
A CJ Group official said, "Under the leadership of each affiliate's CEO, we selected capable new management leaders who will drive change and innovation in each business," and added, "We will give ambitious young talent the chance to take on challenges and, through this, not only achieve the group's midterm strategy but also strengthen preparations for the future."
