Pacific Sogo gets new boss
Pacific Sogo Department Store (太平洋崇光百貨), the nation's second-largest department store operator, yesterday said its board appointed Huang Ching-wen (黃晴雯) to replace Chung Chin (鍾琴) as the retailer's new chairwoman, a filing with the Taiwan Stock Exchange showed.
Huang, a vice president in charge of enterprise evelopment under the FarEastern Group's (遠東集團) retail business, will take up her new position immediately, the filing said.
Far Eastern Group acquired Pacific Sogo in 2002 from the Pacific Construction Co (太平洋建設).
Huang had been working with various local TV stations including China Television Co (CTV, 中視), Era TV (年代電視) and Da-Ai Television Channel (大愛電視台) as a TV anchor prior to joining Far Eastern Group in September
of last year.
Chung, former head of the Government Information Office, tendered her resignation in early July citing personal career reasons, even though her second three-year term does not expire until 2009. She became Pacific Sogo's
first chairwoman in 2003.
