Gravity Co., Ltd. announces the election of a new Chief Executive Officer(CEO)
and the appointment of a Chief Strategy Officer(CSO) to lead its global
operations
On March 29 2005, Gravity reshuffled its management through its 5th annual
shareholders’ meeting and its board of directors’ meeting. Gravity’s board of
directors appointed Mr. Richard Hyonkook Kim, the former CEO and a member of
board of directors, as Gravity’s first-ever Chief Strategy Officer, or CSO, to
be responsible for, and to focus on, Gravity’s global operations. Mr. David
Woong-Jin Yoon, another member of Gravity’s board of directors and a financial
expert with years of experience in managing IT businesses, has been elected to
take Mr. Kim’s place as a new CEO.
The appointment of Mr. Richard Kim as CSO comes as part of Gravity’s bold move
to reinforce and solidify the company-wide focus on Gravity’s global
including expanding the overseas market for Ragnarok Online as well as for
online games, including the newly introduced R.O.S.E. Online. As Gravity’s
first CSO, Mr. Kim is dedicated to devote all of his energy to strengthening
Gravity’s global operations strategy, which includes developing a variety of
content and new businesses for Gravity’s overseas market. Mr. Richard Kim, in
accepting his new post, stated that: “Gravity is making significant progress
towards becoming a global corporation as evidenced by its Nasdaq-listed IPO and
expansion of its online game operations into 23 countries. Based on a more
focused and in-depth strategy, we will do our best to develop new markets for
game publishing and strengthen our presence in the overseas markets.”
On the other hand, Gravity was fortunate to find a CEO replacement in Mr. David
Yoon, formerly Gravity’s independent director. Mr. Yoon commands an expert
comprehensive understanding of finance, business and strategic management
through his years of experience in managing IT-related businesses. In his
inaugural speech, Mr. Yoon stated that: “I will do my best to build on the
successful Nasdaq-listed IPO of Gravity and to achieve Gravity’s goal of
becoming a ‘Top Global Game Company’.” Mr. Yoon holds an MBA from Wharton
School of Business at University of Pennsylvania.
