CJ Group promoted 40 new executive leaders in a major reshuffle, highlighting a generational shift and focus on expertise for global expansion. Five executives in their 30s, including two 36-year-old women, were elevated to strengthen younger leadership; 45% of promotions were born after 1980. Women accounted for 11 of the 40 promotions (27.5%), raising the groupwide female executive ratio from 16% to 19%. Retail units with more female customers—Olive Young (women customers 54%) and CJ Commerce (46%)—now have female-majority leadership. The company also prioritized specialists in AI and data, and restructured its holding company into clearer strategic groups (portfolio strategy, future planning, strategic support, compliance, HR) to boost synergy and decision speed for mid-term goals and global competitiveness.
