[E-Daily Reporter Ham Ji-Hyun ] DL Group announced on the 2nd that it has carried out executive appointments, including the appointment of Kim Gil-soo, co-CEO of Yeocheon NCC, as president of DL Chemical, and Jeong Sam-du, CEO of Pocheon Power, as CEO of DL Energy. A total of 17 new executives were appointed across major affiliates, including DL(000210), and DL E&C CO., LTD. Among the new executives are four individuals born in the 1980s and three women.

In particular, it sought to actively recruit talent who had demonstrated their capabilities by achieving results and performance in their assigned roles, with the aim of granting them greater responsibilities and opportunities for growth.
Accordingly, the group boldly selected young leaders—primarily those born in the 1980s—to inject new vitality into the organization. The company explained that this reflects its commitment to enhancing organizational dynamism and strengthening leadership to drive future growth by appointing individuals who have led change with fresh perspectives rather than clinging to traditional ways of working amid a rapidly changing business environment.
In this round of personnel appointments, data analysis and practical problem-solving skills—essential in the era of AI Transformation (AX)—served as key criteria. Leadership capable of innovating business processes and collaboration systems was also emphasized. The company’s policy is to entrust greater responsibilities to individuals who can redesign work methods and processes from a managerial perspective, establish clear work standards and manuals, and simultaneously create an organic collaboration system across organizational units.
Notably, DL E&C CO., LTD. appointed two new female executives, including the first-ever female executive in its Civil Engineering Division. DL E&C CO., LTD. now has a total of five female executives, accounting for 13% of its entire executive team. Glad Hotel also appointed a female executive.
Through this personnel reshuffle, DL Group plans to continuously innovate its work methods centered on data and AI, and further accelerate its transition to an AX organization where employees independently identify and resolve issues in their respective fields. DL E&C CO., LTD. has established a new Data Planning Team to strengthen its data-driven problem-solving capabilities in preparation for the AI era.
A DL Group official stated, “The core of this personnel reshuffle is to provide greater opportunities to talented individuals who have proven their capabilities by delivering results in their respective fields,” adding, “We will strengthen our future competitiveness by focusing on action-oriented leaders who can solve problems based on data and AI and innovate existing work methods.”
