[Edaily Reporter JAEMIN SONG ] LX Semicon has nominated Na Jun-ho, Executive Vice President and Head of the Strategic Marketing Division, as its new CEO. The company plans to enhance the competitiveness of its core businesses and accelerate the discovery of future growth engines by placing a leader with extensive experience in both technology development and business operations in the display and system semiconductor sectors at the helm.

LX Semicon announced on the 3rd that it held a board of directors meeting and carried out its 2027 regular executive reshuffle, which included the nomination of Vice President Na as CEO and the appointment of one new director.

Mr. Na, the CEO-designate, joined LX Semicon in 2001 after working at LG Semiconductor. Since then, he has led the development of display system semiconductors and driven business growth while serving as head of the driver integrated circuit (IC) development division, head of the large-display development group, and head of the TV and IT business division.

Starting in 2024, he served as Head of the Strategic Marketing Division, overseeing marketing, sales, procurement, and supply chain management not only for the company’s core display system semiconductors but also for new business areas such as microcontroller units (MCUs) and heat-dissipating substrates. The company assessed Mr. Na as possessing a deep understanding of technology, market- and customer-centric strategic judgment, and strong business management capabilities.

With this appointment, LX Semicon plans to strengthen its market dominance in its core businesses while identifying new business opportunities to respond to the rapidly changing technological and industrial landscape and further enhancing its risk management system. Mr. Na is scheduled to be formally appointed as CEO following procedures at next year’s annual shareholders’ meeting and board of directors meeting.

In this round of personnel changes, Senior Researcher Kang Moon-seok was newly appointed as a director. An LX Semicon official stated, “Based on a performance-oriented approach, we have promoted talent with expertise and execution capabilities,” adding, “We plan to strengthen our business competitiveness and accelerate efforts to secure future growth engines.”
