SK Networks (001740.KS) announced Wednesday that it has carried out its 2026 regular organizational restructuring and executive reshuffle to solidify its AI-focused business holding company structure and enhance future growth execution capabilities.
The restructuring focuses on strengthening profitability of existing businesses, stabilizing business structure, and reinforcing AI-centered growth engines. Accordingly, the AI Division has been renamed to "Innovation Division" to develop and materialize innovative business models. Shin Sang-eun, head of AI Innovation Office 1, has been appointed as head of the Innovation Division. Shin previously led global new business strategy and digital innovation at a U.S. strategic consulting firm.
SK Networks also established a Business Growth Promotion Office under its Information and Communications Business Division to advance its value chain and strengthen field-centered execution capabilities. The Sustainable Management Office has been renamed to "Compliance Office" to elevate standards in compliance management and safety management. Three new executives were appointed: Min Bok-ki as head of Business Innovation Office, Lee Kyung-ryul as head of Compliance Office, and Choi Hyun-kyu as head of Business Growth Promotion Office in the Information and Communications Business Division.
Major subsidiaries have also appointed new CEOs to accelerate growth on a stable foundation. SK Intellix has designated Ahn Moo-in, CEO of SK Speedmate, as its new CEO. Ahn has enhanced corporate value at SK Speedmate, which was spun off last year, by successively launching AI and data-based business models and customer-focused services. SK Intellix also appointed Jang Tae-jin, head of Distribution Business Office at SK Networks' Information and Communications Business Division, as head of its Sales Division.
Lee Hwan-yong, CEO of Mintit, will concurrently serve as CEO of SK Speedmate next year, pursuing improved efficiency and innovation in the automobile management business model. Data company Encore plans to recruit Kim Joo-min, an AI expert, as its new CEO to pursue growth as an AI data specialist company.
"We plan to complete follow-up personnel appointments by year-end while securing competitiveness in our core businesses as an AI-focused business holding company and continuously enhancing corporate value by solidifying the foundation for future growth," SK Networks said.
