Seoul Robotics (CEO Lee Han-bin) , an AI-based logistics autonomous driving startup, announced on the 20th that it has hired Woo Sang-gil, who served as CFO at Hyundai Motor Group's Singapore Global Innovation Center (HMGICS), as its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
CFO Woo Sang-gil has held key cost and finance positions at Hyundai Motor Group for approximately 16 years, accumulating extensive experience in development, mass production systems, quality requirements, and the entire delivery process for major automakers.

At HMGICS, Hyundai Motor Group's first overseas innovation hub, CFO Woo designed the business structure and financial strategy, and led the initial large-scale investment attraction, financing, and budget execution. He also pioneered the adoption of a smart factory cost management system tailored to cell manufacturing, achieving both production efficiency and cost savings.

Previously, he was responsible for establishing the initial cost system for the Hyundai Motor Company Gwangju Global Motors (GGM) project, and has experience in financial management across the manufacturing industry, including approximately 10 years of cost management and profitability improvement work at the Hyundai Motor Company Asan Plant.
