Coca-Cola Korea Company announced Thursday that it has appointed Jung Ki-sung as its new chief. His promotion to the head position was attributed to his vast experience within the company, as he is evaluated to have contributed to the firm's business growth.
Since joining Coca-Cola Korea back in 2000, Jung served in various roles at the company over two decades. Jung started his Coca-Cola career as a senior budget manager from 2000 to 2008, and he went on to work as a CFO at Coca-Cola Thailand until 2010. From 2010, Jung has been the CFO of Coca-Cola Korea Company.
"It is very honorable to be appointed as the CEO of Coca-Cola Korea Company. I plan to strengthen the firm's status as a comprehensive beverage company by expanding its business portfolios according to fast-changing consumption trends and sustainable growth strategy," Jung said.
This is the second time that Coca-Cola Korea Company named a CEO from within its ranks since appointing Choi Su-chong as its chief in September 2019. Choi has been appointed to lead the firm's marketing in Korea and in Japan.
