Giovanni Valentin was appointed as the head of the North America subsidiary. Born in 1973, Valentin joined Baldani Vicari in 1998 as a business consultant and has worked at global companies including Unilever, L'Or?al Group, Giorgio Armani, and Lanc?me. Valentin joined Amorepacific this year and will lead the North America subsidiary.

Na Jeong-gyun leads the Japan subsidiary. Born in 1972, Na joined Amorepacific in 1998 and has served as Head of New Growth BU TR Division, Head of ASEAN Subsidiary, and Head of North America Subsidiary.

Amorepacific's operating profit in the first quarter of this year was 72.7 billion KRW, a 12.9% increase compared to the same period last year, with sales in the North American region jumping 40%. Recently, K-beauty has gained worldwide popularity, leading to a rapid increase in overseas sales. The global popularity of idol groups such as BLACKPINK and IVE has naturally increased interest in K-beauty. Amorepacific has raised its global recognition by using BLACKPINK's Ros? as the model for Sulwhasoo and Jennie as the model for Hera.

As Korean cosmetics are gaining popularity worldwide, Amorepacific plans to create new growth engines through the replacement of subsidiary heads. An Amorepacific official explained, "In order to continuously promote growth in global business amid rapidly changing market conditions, we have made personnel appointments for heads of subsidiaries in three global regions," adding, "Through the appointment of new subsidiary heads, we plan to review the business status in each region and secure new growth engines."
