Chung Shin-a, who ascended to the CEO position in December of the previous year, has notably spearheaded the Kakao Innovation Task Force, served as a co-chair of the CA Council, and led the Strategy Committee. Throughout her tenure, Chung has been instrumental in charting a new course for Kakao’s evolution, engaging in over 20 extensive discussions with more than a thousand of the company’s executives and employees to refine the company’s strategic direction. A significant focus of her leadership has been the drafting of detailed plans aimed at securing new avenues for growth, particularly through the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Kakao’s core operations, and establishing a responsible decision-making framework.

Under Chung’s guidance, Kakao is set to redefine the integration of AI in daily life by consolidating its AI-focused teams into a singular, cohesive unit. This reorganization aims to enhance the development and deployment of AI-driven services, with an emphasis on generative AI technologies. To further this ambition, Kakao welcomed Lee Sang-ho, a distinguished figure in Korea’s AI and data sectors, as its Chief AI Officer (CAIO). Lee’s vast experience, including roles such as SKT’s Chief Technology Officer and founder and CEO of Dialoid, positions him as a pivotal force in steering Kakao’s AI endeavors.

Additionally, Kakao is undergoing an organizational overhaul to streamline its decision-making processes and align its structure with the dynamic needs of a rapidly expanding tech enterprise. This restructure is designed to reduce technical debt, eliminate redundant workflows, and foster a more agile and responsive organizational culture, ultimately enhancing Kakao’s platform services and user experiences.

The appointment of new internal and external directors marks another stride towards reinforcing Kakao’s commitment to responsible governance and securing its future growth trajectory. The newly appointed directors bring a wealth of expertise and are expected to play a critical role in steering Kakao towards advanced governance practices and ethical management principles.

CEO Chung Shin-ah, in her remarks, underscored the company’s accelerated push towards innovation and the development of unique, AI-based services that leverage Kakao’s distinctive capabilities. The shareholders’ meeting also saw the approval of various key resolutions, including director appointments, financial statement approvals, and amendments to the company’s charter, among others.
