2024.06.03. The Fair Economy — Industrial software company AVEVA Korea announced on the 3rd that it has appointed Kim Sang-geon as its new country manager.

Drawing on extensive sales expertise in the industrial market, Kim will lead AVEVA Korea's overall domestic business as its new head, overseeing strategy development and execution.

With more than 24 years of experience in software and manufacturing industries, Kim possesses a deep and broad understanding of how AVEVA's digital transformation technologies can change and innovate industrial performance in an era of rapidly shifting global competition.

Before joining AVEVA, Kim served as country manager at PTC Korea, where he successfully built digital transformation strategies with major manufacturing clients starting in 2016. Prior to PTC, he spent more than a decade at IBM, leading its software solutions group as well as its data analytics and smart city divisions.

AVEVA's clients can improve operational efficiency at every stage, from energy production to transportation and refining, through digital transformation. They are also taking the lead in driving sustainable innovation through such digital twin technologies.

"Securing intelligence in the industrial environment within a connected information ecosystem is arguably the most critical competitive advantage," said Kim, CEO of AVEVA Korea. "We plan to actively leverage AVEVA's strengths, including its expertise across diverse markets ranging from traditionally strong sectors like maritime, shipbuilding, heavy industry, oil, and gas to EPC, energy, electric vehicle batteries, semiconductors, aerospace, and smart cities, as well as its broad digital twin portfolio. This will help clients build a digital thread to achieve fast, safe, and sustainable innovation."
