Zebra Technologies has appointed Chang Ug (CU) Seo as its South Korea country lead. Seo is focused on growing Zebra’s business in South Korea. He succeeds John Woo, who has been leading Zebra’s business in South Korea for 24 years.
“South Korea has always been an important market for Zebra in Asia Pacific, and it has grown steadily over the years,” said Christanto Suryadarma, sales VP – Southeast Asia & South Korea and channel sales lead for Asia Pacific (excluding China), Zebra Technologies. “As an IT veteran with a proven track record, CU is the right leader for our South Korea team, and I am confident that he will be able to further grow our business in South Korea.
“Meanwhile, we are thankful for John’s many years of service and contributions and sincerely wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” added Suryadarma.
“I am thrilled to join Zebra Technologies and have the opportunity to lead the South Korea team,” said Seo. “As South Korea embraces the fourth industrial revolution, the country has built around 30,000 smart factories so far. Additionally, the South Korean government has been providing direct support to startups and small medium enterprises to establish smart factories by investing up to $340 million in funding per year. This spells tremendous opportunities for us, and we are committed to working closely with our partners to develop innovative, purpose-built solutions to help Korean enterprises digitize and automate their workflows.”
