SK Speedmate announced Thursday that it has appointed Lee Hwan-yong, current CEO of Mintit, as its new chief executive.

Lee joined SK Networks in 2005 and has served in various leadership positions including head of business strategy at the information and communications division, head of blockchain business, head of management analysis, and head of business support. He was appointed as CEO of Mintit last year, where he focused on stabilizing the used smartphone trading business and strengthening the foundation for future growth.

SK Speedmate was spun off from SK Networks as an independent company in September last year.
