LG Group Expected to Keep President-Level Executives at Year-End Appointments
Business reviews of key affiliates this month will inform December personnel decisions, with the ad-hoc replacement policy still in play.
LG Group is expected to retain most of its president-level executives at the upcoming regular year-end personnel appointments, according to bloter.net. The group's ad-hoc personnel policy, adopted last year, remains a variable that could change the picture.
LG Group plans to hold business reviews of its main affiliates later this month. Those reviews will inform the December appointments, and the group expects to keep the recently appointed CEOs of LG Electronics and LG Chem in place to give them time to deliver results.
Koo Kwang-mo, chairman of LG Group, has repeatedly stressed fast execution of the group's AI investment strategy at meetings with top executives this year. On the 16th of last month, he met with about 40 top executives for roughly 8 hours to review that strategy.
Recent leadership changes

Some affiliates have reported recent results: LG Energy Solution president Kim Dong-myung posted third-quarter operating profit of 756 billion won, beating market expectations, while LG Innotek, led by president Moon Hyuk-soo, saw first-half operating profit rise 296.4% year-on-year to 541.1 billion won.
