Chung Hyun-ho is the Vice Chairman and Head of Samsung Electronics' Business Support Task Force (TF).

He leads the Business Support TF, responsible for Samsung Electronics' future strategy and personnel management, and is seeking ways to respond to the semiconductor conflict between the United States and China.

Born on March 6, 1960, in Seoul, he graduated from Yonsei University with a degree in Business Administration and obtained an MBA from Harvard Business School in the United States.

He joined Samsung Electronics' International Finance Department and worked in the Financial Team of Samsung's secretarial office, the predecessor of the Samsung Future Strategy Office.

After serving as the Head of Samsung Electronics' IR Group, he worked as a managing director in the Strategic Planning Office, the successor organization to Samsung's secretarial office.

He is a financial and strategic planning expert who enjoys the deep trust of Chairman Lee Jae-yong and other members of the owner family.

He is considered the 'second-in-command' of the Samsung Group, following former Group Strategic Planning Office Vice Chairman Lee Hak-soo and former Future Strategy Office Vice Chairman Choi Ji-sung.
