The platform industry, which has entered a severe period of investment, has begun to recruit talent needed to “survive.” As the platform industry’s business environment deteriorated, with Mesh Korea applying for corporate rehabilitation and SSG Dotcom and Curly virtually delaying IPO, it strategically recruited investment banking industries as well as competitors to improve management efficiency.




According to industries on the 29th, Abley, Wemakeprice, and Yogiyo have recently started to form a new edition by recruiting a large number of outside figures. First of all, Abley, a fashion platform that has been attracting investment in Series C since last month, established an investment strategy room on the 28th. Although the amount of transactions is increasing every year, it is interpreted that it is necessary to actively attract investment at a time when the deficit continues. Lee Sang-min, a former manager of Bank of America Merrill Lynch, was recruited as the general leader in charge of the department. Abley plans to start global investment in earnest and establish mid- to long-term growth strategies through this.



Yogiyo, who has the second-largest share in the food delivery platform industry, has also started to establish strategies by recruiting a large number of C-level officials this year. Starting with Chief Product Officer (CPO) Min Ji-young in April, Yogiyo recruited Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Jeon Joon-hee in July. In addition, Jang Soo-baek, chief information officer (CIO) and chief security officer (CSO) and Steve Cho, chief marketing officer (CMO) were recruited one after another last month. Considering that all of them have worked at Coupang, they are expected to focus on strengthening their competitiveness in fast delivery in the quick commerce (immediate delivery) service “Yomart.”

Wemakeprice has also started to fundamentally improve its constitution by recruiting C-level officials one after another. Wemakeprice hired Dr. Lee Jin-ho from Apple as its chief technology officer (CTO) in August, and appointed Kim Dong-min, a former founding member of Toss Securities, as its chief product officer (CPO) late last month.
