Mirae Asset Group has restructured its organization and appointed executives as part of its 'Mirae Asset 3.0' strategy, which focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation. Noh Yong-woo, vice president of Mirae Asset Securities, has been designated as the CEO of Digital X (formerly Korbit), and one of the five executives promoted is an expert in AI, digital, and information security.
On November 5, Mirae Asset Group announced the appointment of two CEOs and seven division heads, along with promotions for 128 domestic and international executives as part of its organizational restructuring.
The focus of this personnel change is to enhance the execution of the Mirae Asset 3.0 strategy, characterized by 'AI Everywhere, AI Anytime, and Agentic Asset Management (AM) and Wealth Management (WM).' To achieve this, 20% of the promoted executives are specialists in AI transformation (AX) and digital and information security, and the group has reorganized its AX promotion system.
Noh, the new CEO of Digital X, was born in 1968 and graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in economics. He has held various positions at Mirae Asset Securities, including head of the Management Innovation Division and head of the Group Risk Management Division. Last year, he was involved in digital asset initiatives within the Innovation Promotion Division.
Noh is expected to be officially appointed after the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) processes the change of CEO and following a shareholders' meeting. Mirae Asset Group anticipates that Noh will lead the integration of traditional finance and digital assets based on his experience in management innovation, risk management, and digital assets.
Strengthening financial security is also a key aspect of this organizational restructuring. With increasing security risks in the financial sector, the group has elevated its information security organization and enhanced its capabilities for vulnerability assessments and real-world responses. The aim is to bolster the protection of customer assets and information against evolving financial security threats.
Woo Shin-je has been appointed as the CEO of Energy Infrastructure Asset Management. The new CEO plans to expand investment areas based on expertise in infrastructure investment, focusing on renewable energy generation projects, power grids, energy storage systems (ESS), and power infrastructure for AI data centers.
The trend of generational change and the appointment of female leaders continues. Among the promoted executives, 64% are in their 40s, and 17% are women. Additionally, 30% of the promoted individuals are leaders in WM and pension sales, enhancing customer-facing competitiveness.
A representative from Mirae Asset Group stated, "This personnel change reflects our commitment to internalizing AI and digital technology across the group and continuing financial innovation centered on customers. We aim to enhance our global investment platform competitiveness that encompasses both traditional and digital assets and expand new asset management services."
