Jan. 11, 2023
Replaces Edward Song

Chris Jeong has been named CEO of Doosan Infracore North America. He succeeds Edward Song, who was promoted to global sales head of Hyundai Doosan Infracore in Korea.

Jeong most recently served as CEO for Doosan Infracore European Union. He joined Doosan in 2006 as a senior corporate strategy manager after completing his MBA at Carnegie Mellon University. He led strategic activities across various markets before he was promoted to VP sales and marketing for emerging markets. Jeong oversaw sales and marketing for Doosan employee teams in Asia, Oceania, Commonwealth of Independent States, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, Brazil, and India.

“I’d like to acknowledge the many accomplishments of Doosan Infracore North America under the leadership of Mr. Edward Song,” said Jeong in a prepared statement. “Edward was instrumental in getting the new organization structured in 2018 as we recommitted the company to the heavy construction equipment industry in North America.”

Said Song in a statement:

“It has been my pleasure serving you and your customers over the last five years, and I look forward to continuing to support the company and our products in my new role. Much has transpired since 2018, and I’m pleased by the progress we’ve made working together to enhance the Doosan brand and grow the product line in North America.”
