Seoul, Korea, May 22, 2008 – LG Electronics (LG), a global leader and technology innovator in consumer electronics, announced today that the company appointed Reginald J. Bull as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO), an Executive Vice President-level position.
Mr. Bull will direct all aspects of raising LG’s HR policies and systems up to global standards.

Mr. Bull was formerly Senior Vice President of Unilever’s Global Human Resources Transformation, which evaluated its employees’ capabilities and positioned them appropriately within the organization to create top performance. He has more than 25 years of experience in Unilever’s HR department. During this time, he dealt with more than 100 subsidiaries and 240,000 employees worldwide.
