ATN Investment reported a strong performance last year, with its operating profit surging 137% compared to the previous year. Alongside this achievement, the company announced the appointment of Maeng Du-jin as its new president, transitioning to a three-person representative system led by Shin Ki-cheon, Lee Seung-yong, and Maeng Du-jin.
Through a public disclosure on the 3rd, ATN Investment revealed that its operating profit last year reached 319.7755 billion won, a 136.8% increase from the previous year's 13.5036 billion won. During the same period, revenue grew by 36.4% to 70.56199 billion won, while net income for the period rose 131.4% to 25.09461 billion won.
The company explained, "While advisory fees remained at a similar level compared to the previous year, the increase in equity method gains and losses from portfolio companies led to significant growth in both revenue and net income."
Alongside its strong financial results, ATN Investment also restructured its leadership. Maeng Du-jin, currently president of the Deep Tech division, has been appointed as the new representative director. The company will transition from a two-person leadership model under Shin Ki-cheon and Lee Seung-yong to a three-person system with each holding representative authority. Final appointments are expected after the regular shareholders' meeting and board of directors meeting in March.
Maeng, the newly appointed representative, is a 25-year veteran venture capitalist from Samsung Electronics' Advanced Institute of Technology. He has overseen ATN Investment's Deep Tech division investments, building a technology-focused portfolio spanning secondary batteries, robotics, semiconductors, and AI.
Under this new leadership structure, the three representatives will divide responsibilities according to their expertise. Maeng Du-jin will lead Deep Tech investments and domestic funding, while Lee Seung-yong will handle overseas investments and global fundraising. Shin Ki-cheon will continue to oversee overall management as before.
An ATN Investment official stated, "We are placing key personnel who have led operations at the forefront to build a sustainable management system. We aim to maintain our firm's investment DNA over the long term while maximizing expertise."
