Naver, NCSoft, Yanolja Experience
Um CTO "Will Expand Business Model"
Table order company TOrder announced on the 14th that it has appointed Um Tae-wook, former CTO of Yanolja, as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
CTO Um Tae-wook previously worked at Naver, NCSoft, and SK Planet before serving as CTO at the global leisure platform Yanolja. He is recognized as an expert in data development and platform services. He is known to have contributed to Yanolja's expansion from a domestic accommodation service to a global tech platform covering leisure, aviation, and overseas accommodation.
TOrder established the CTO position with the recruitment of Um Tae-wook. This move aims to focus on product and technology development at a time when the company is expanding its business from the domestic table order market to the global market. CTO Um will oversee all aspects of the technology division. Along with the development of the current tablet menu, he will help TOrder expand its business into data platform services such as advertising.
CTO Um explained, "At this point, having received Series B investment, I believed it was necessary to conduct research and development focused on technology and products centered on customers, which led me to decide to join." Recently, TOrder completed the first round of its Series B funding by raising 30 billion KRW from No & Partners, Eugene Investment & Securities, LB Investment, and Industrial Bank of Korea.
TOrder CEO Kwon Sung-taek said, "We offered the position after recognizing CTO Um's technical development capabilities, which have supported the expansion of platform businesses," adding, "Going forward, we will focus on related businesses so that TOrder can expand limitlessly as a data platform together with CTO Um."
