Goodai Global names former CJ Group executive Koo Chang-keun as co-CEO

Beauty company Goodai Global has appointed Koo Chang-keun as co-CEO.

Koo, a former analyst at Samsung Securities, previously served as CEO of CJ Foodville, CJ Olive Young and CJ ENM in succession, industry sources said Monday.

At CJ Foodville, he strengthened the company's production base and led the spinoff and growth of the cafe brand A Twosome Place. At CJ Olive Young, he spearheaded the transformation of the health and beauty store chain into an omnichannel beauty platform integrating online and offline operations.

The move marks the first time Goodai Global has adopted a co-CEO structure since its founding in December 2016, a decade during which founder and CEO Cheon Ju-hyeok ran the company alone. Koo said, "I will expand our business so that our outstanding brand portfolio can reach further into overseas markets."
