E-commerce giant Coupang Inc. said Wednesday that Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Park Dae-jun has resigned over a recent customer data leak affecting nearly 34 million users.
"I deeply apologize for disappointing the public over the recent data breach, and have decided to step down from all my positions to take full responsibility for both the incident and the company's response," Park said in a statement.
Coupang's U.S.-based parent company has appointed Harold Rogers, its chief administrative officer (CAO) and general counsel, as interim CEO to lead the company's response and address customer concerns, the company said in a press release.
Rogers will focus on managing the internal and external fallout from the incident and restoring organizational stability, indicating that the parent firm will take an active role in handling the aftermath of the data leak, it said.
