Chris Jeong was named CEO at Doosan Infracore North America, succeeding Edward Song.

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. Jeong led strategic activities across various markets before he was promoted to vice president of sales and marketing for emerging markets.

Additionally, Jeong oversaw sales and marketing for Doosan employee teams in various markets around the world.

“I’d like to acknowledge the many accomplishments of Doosan Infracore North America under the leadership of Mr. Edward Song,” Jeong says. “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.”

According to the company, Song established two regional parts distribution centers in North America for Doosan Infracore North America. He was also instrumental in opening a machine customization plant in Savannah, Georgia, and he introduced the new Doosan machine monitoring center at the corporate office in Suwanee, Georgia.

“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,” Song says. “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.”
