LG Electronics Unveils New Leadership Structure

LG Electronics has unveiled a new leadership structure designed to give three top executives more independence and responsibility to facilitate rapid decision-making.

The three Representative Directors of LG Electronics are: Jo Seong-jin, President and CEO of Home Appliances & Air Solutions; Juno Cho, President and CEO of Mobile Communications; David Jung, President and CFO.

Current Vice Chairman and CEO Koo Bon-joon will rejoin the leadership team at LG Electronics parent company, LG Corp.

The new structure will also give each of LGs four companies ― Home Entertainment, Mobile Communications, Home Appliance & Air Solution and Vehicle Components ― more autonomy to respond quickly and decisively to market conditions and business growth opportunities.

Complementing LGs ongoing leadership in televisions, mobile devices and appliances, high-growth areas such as automotive components, energy, IT and B2B are expected to drive more of LGs growth going forward.

As part of his responsibility, David Jung will also take on the new role of Corporate Business Administration Officer where he will oversee overseas sales and marketing, global production and quality management as well as continuing to lead the office of the CFO.

Executive Vice President Lee Sang-bong, head of the LG Energy Business Center, will be promoted to President and will take on an expanded role as B2B (business-to-business) Officer, overseeing all of LGs commercial sector business, which includes professional displays, commercial air conditioning systems and energy solutions.

Global Sales and Marketing Officer Wayne Park will assume the new title of Executive Vice President and Head of LGs European Operations.

Executive Vice President Brian Na will be responsible for LGs Overseas Sales and Marketing, overseeing 47 LG sales subsidiaries worldwide.

All appointments are effective 1 December 2015 with promotions taking effect on 1 January 2016.

The overall new organizational structure will take effect once confirmed at the general meeting of shareholders in early 2016.
