HL Group has appointed Park Young-moon as CEO of HL Mando and head of the auto sector as part of its 2026 executive reshuffle. The company is adopting a 'disruption' approach to overhaul its existing organizational structure, aiming to strengthen accountability across subsidiaries and secure future growth drivers.
On November 2, HL Group announced it will reorganize its three existing organizational pillars—products, functions, and regions—into two pillars focused on regions and functions. The company will enhance regional management responsibilities by adding a representative for South Korea to its existing four regional representatives covering China, the Americas, India, and Europe.
Park Young-moon will lead HL Mando as CEO and head of the auto sector, while Bae Hong-yong will serve as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and Chief Digital Officer (CDO), overseeing the research and development organization. Regional representatives include Lee Jeong-seok (South Korea), Kim Pyeong-yong (China), Kim Jae-hyeok (Americas), Kim Seong-il (India), and Ji Su-hwan (Europe).
New leadership has also been appointed to key subsidiaries. Song Gi-taek, former head of the integrated logistics division, has been named CEO of HL Holdings, and Yu Jae-eon, who oversaw human resources at HL D&I Halla, has been appointed CEO of HL Ecotech. HL Group plans to leverage young leadership to improve profitability in existing businesses and strengthen its business portfolio.
A new organization has been established to oversee the group's long-term growth strategy. Jeong Jae-young has been appointed as Senior Vice President, responsible for group strategy and serving as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Jeong will coordinate strategic direction between the group and its subsidiaries while pursuing new business opportunities and building new value chains.
