[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] Kim Dongseon, Head of New Business Strategy Office at Hanwha Solutions, will take on the role of Head of Strategy Headquarters, which integrates planning, human resources, and other tasks along with the existing New Business Strategy Office.

On the 9th, Hanwha Solutions Galleria Division announced that it has reorganized its structure into three headquarters: Strategy Headquarters, Sales Headquarters, and Product Headquarters. The New Business Strategy Office, which was responsible for discovering and promoting new businesses, was integrated into the Strategy Headquarters due to the need for a more organic system with planning and human resources.

Head Kim will not only continue his existing duties such as promoting new businesses for business area expansion and discovering premium content but also participate in the overall management of Galleria, taking on a more responsible role within the organization. Currently, Head Kim concurrently serves as Executive Director and Head of Future Strategy Office at Hanwha Hotels & Resorts. There are also expectations that Kim’s influence within Hanwha Group will grow through this personnel change.

Galleria is focusing on mid- to long-term sustainable growth, including ▲continuing the premium strategy of the existing department store business ▲retail complex development projects linked with group companies ▲diversified investments related to retail and development of new premium content.
