Lee Joo-Sung, President & CEO of SeAH Steel Holdings — profile portrait

Joining NANRO Next as a patron, Lee Joo-Sung began his career at Accenture and Merrill Lynch before joining SeAH Group in 2008. After leading roles at SeAH Holdings, SeAH Besteel, and SeAH Steel, he became President & CEO of SeAH Steel Holdings in 2022. Under his leadership, the group launched SeAH Wind in the UK, bringing the world's largest offshore-wind monopile plant into commercial operation, and scaled U.S. energy-infrastructure pipe exports to record group revenue and operating profit. In 2013, the World Economic Forum recognized him as a Young Global Leader.

His work sits with the long horizons that a brand needs to hold its ground across generations — the time, the patience, and the weight of capital that makes such time possible. It is a perspective that connects naturally with the chefs building their own names on the world stage today, and it is what brought him to NANRO Next as a patron.
