브레이크뉴스 문홍철 기자= 2024년 국내 500대 기업 대표이사들 가운데 60대가 전체 50%에 육박하며, 가장 많았은 것으로 집계됐다.
신종 코로나바이러스 감염증(코로나19) 대유행 등 경영 불확실성이 짙어지면서 기업들이 ‘안정 운영’에 방점을 둔 때문으로 풀이된다.
또한, 국내 500대 기업 대표이사 중 전문 경영인 비중은 83.4%로 3년 전인 2020년보다 1.6%p(14명) 늘었다. 오너일가 비중은 2020년 말 18.2%(121명)에서 올해 초 16.6%(111명)으로 1.6%p(10명) 줄었다.
10일 CEO스코어에 따르면 2020년 말과 2024년 초를 기준으로 500대기업 대표이사의 연령을 조사한 결과, 올해 초 기준 대표이사 670명의 평균 나이는 59.7세로 나타났다. 이는 3년여 전인 2020년 말(58.6세)와 비교해 1.1세 늘어난 수치다.
2020년 말에는 50대 대표이사 비중이 50.6%로 제일 높았으나, 3년여 새 60대 대표이사 비중이 크게 늘어났다. 올해 초 기준 60대 대표이사 비중은 49.0%(328명)으로 2020년 말(35.9%, 239명)과 비교해 13.1%p 상승했다. 같은 기간 50대 대표이사 비중은 50.6%(337명)에서 38.5%(258명)으로 12.1%p 하락했다.
30대 대표이사 비중도 2020년 말 0.9%(6명)에서 올해 초 0.3%(2명)으로 0.6%p(4명) 하락했고, 40대 대표이사 비중도 2020년 말 7.2%(48명)에서 올해 초 6.7%(45명)으로 0.5%p(3명) 하락했다.
반면, 70대와 80대 대표이사 비중은 2020년 말과 비교해 각각 0.1%p(1명)씩 상승한 4.3%(29명), 1.0%(7명)으로 조사됐다. 이로써 올해 초엔 80대 대표이사(7명)가 30대(2명)보다 많아졌다.
최연소 대표이사인 촹네이슨마이클 에이아이에이생명보험 대표이사는 1988년생으로, 연나이 기준 36세다. 마이클 대표와 함께 △권혁민 도이치모터스 대표(1986년생, 38세) △서진석 셀트리온 대표(1984년생, 40세) △김동관 한화 대표(1983년생, 41세) △박주환 티케이지태광 대표(1983년생, 41세) △김슬아 컬리 대표(1983년생, 41세) △구동휘 엘에스엠앤엠 대표(1982년생, 42세) △곽정현 KG케미칼 대표(1982년생, 42세) △이국환 우아한형제들 대표(1982년생, 42세) △최수연 NAVER 대표(1981년생, 43세) 등이 대표적인 80년대생 대표들이었다.
유일한 90대 대표이사인 이상은 다스 대표(1933년생, 91세)가 국내 최고령 대표였다. 이어 △이부섭 동진쎄미캠 대표(1937년생, 87세) △강병중 넥센타이어 대표(1939년생, 85세) △손경식 CJ제일제당 대표(1939년생, 85세) △엄병윤 유라 대표(1941년생, 83세) △김영대 대성산업 대표(1942년생, 82세) △이명근 성우하이텍 대표(1944년생, 80세) △조시영 대창 대표(1944년생, 80세) 등 7명이 80대 대표들이었다.
아울러 올해 초 기준 대표이사 중 전문경영인 비중은 83.4%로 3년 전과 비교해 1.6%p(14명) 상승했다. 오너일가 비중은 2020년 말 18.2%(121명)에서 올해 초 16.6%(111명)으로 1.6%p(10명) 하락했다.
오너일가 평균연령은 2020년 말 59.7세에서 올해 초 59.5세로 0.2세 줄었다. 500대기업 대표이사 연령대가 늘고 있는 상황이지만 오너일가 평균연령은 소폭 감소했다.
이는 지난해 하반기 40대 오너일가 자녀세대 대표이사가 잇따라 선임된 데 따른 것으로 분석된다. 구체적으로 GS그룹 오너 4세대 허윤홍(45세) 씨가 GS건설 대표에, LS가 오너 3세대 구동휘(42세) 씨가 엘에스엠앤엠 대표에, 셀트리온그룹 오너 2세대 서진석(40세) 씨가 셀트리온 대표로 각각 선임된 바 있다.
500대기업 여성 대표이사 비중은 3년 전이나 현재나 여전히 2%대로 낮은 수준이었다. 500대기업 여성 대표이사는 올해 초 2.4%(16명)으로 2020년 말(2.0%, 13명)과 비교해 0.4%p(3명) 상승하는 데 그쳤다.
이 기간 동안 여성 대표이사를 선임한 곳은 LG생활건강, 세아상역, 수협은행, 씨제이올리브영, 아워홈, 카카오, 한국가스공사, 한샘 등 8곳이다. 같은 기간 케이비증권, 코카콜라음료, 한국도로공사, 한세실업, 홈플러스 등 5곳에서는 여성 대표이사가 퇴임했다.

Among the top 500 companies, the proportion of CEOs in their 60s is close to 50%. Professional managers account for 83.4%.
Break News Reporter Moon Hong-cheol= Among the CEOs of Korea's top 500 companies in 2024, those in their 60s were calculated to be the largest, approaching 50% of the total.
This is interpreted as the reason why companies are focusing on ‘stable operation’ as management uncertainty, such as the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) pandemic, deepens.
In addition, the proportion of professional managers among the CEOs of Korea's top 500 companies was 83.4%, an increase of 1.6 percentage points (14 people) from 2020, three years ago. The proportion of owner families decreased by 1.6 percentage points (10 people) from 18.2% (121 people) at the end of 2020 to 16.6% (111 people) at the beginning of this year.
According to CEO Score on the 10th, as a result of investigating the ages of CEOs of 500 large companies as of the end of 2020 and early 2024, the average age of 670 CEOs as of the beginning of this year was 59.7 years old. This is an increase of 1.1 years compared to the end of 2020 (58.6 years), about three years ago.
At the end of 2020, the proportion of CEOs in their 50s was the highest at 50.6%, but in the past three years, the proportion of CEOs in their 60s has increased significantly. As of the beginning of this year, the proportion of CEOs in their 60s was 49.0% (328 people), an increase of 13.1 percentage points compared to the end of 2020 (35.9%, 239 people). During the same period, the proportion of CEOs in their 50s decreased by 12.1 percentage points from 50.6% (337 people) to 38.5% (258 people).
The proportion of CEOs in their 30s also decreased by 0.6%p (4 people) from 0.9% (6 people) at the end of 2020 to 0.3% (2 people) at the beginning of this year, and the proportion of CEOs in their 40s also decreased from 7.2% (48 people) at the end of 2020. It fell 0.5% point (3 people) to 6.7% (45 people) at the beginning of this year.
On the other hand, the proportion of CEOs in their 70s and 80s was found to be 4.3% (29 people) and 1.0% (7 people), respectively, an increase of 0.1 percentage point (1 person) compared to the end of 2020. As a result, at the beginning of this year, there were more CEOs in their 80s (7) than those in their 30s (2).
The youngest CEO, Chop Nathan Michael, CEO of AI Life Insurance, was born in 1988 and is 36 years old. Along with CEO Michael, △ Deutsche Motors CEO Kwon Hyuk-min (born in 1986, 38 years old) △ Seo Jin-seok, Celltrion CEO (born 1984, 40 years old) △ Hanwha CEO Kim Dong-gwan (born 1983, 41 years old) △ TKG Taekwang CEO Park Joo-hwan (born 1983, 41 years old) ) △Seul-ah Kim Curly CEO (born in 1983, 41 years old) △Dong-Hwi Koo CEO LSM&M (Born in 1982, 42 years old) △Jeong-Hyeon Kwak CEO KG Chemical (Born in 1982, 42 years old) △Guk-Hwan Lee Wooah Brothers CEO (19 years old) Born in 1982, 42 years old ) △Choi Soo-yeon, CEO of NAVER (born in 1981, 43 years old) were representative representatives born in the 1980s.
Das CEO Lee Sang-eun (born in 1933, 91 years old), the only CEO in his 90s, was the country's oldest CEO. Next, △ Lee Bu-seop, CEO of Dongjin Semicam (born in 1937, 87 years old) △ Byeong-joong Kang, CEO of Nexen Tire (born in 1939, 85 years old) △ Gyeong-sik Son, CEO of CJ CheilJedang (born in 1939, 85 years old) △ Byung-yoon Eom, CEO of Yura (born in 1941, 83 years old) 7 people were in their 80s, including △ Kim Young-dae, CEO of Daesung Industrial (born in 1942, 82 years old), △ Myung-geun Lee, CEO of Sungwoo Hitech (born in 1944, 80 years old), and △ Cho Si-young, CEO of Daechang (born in 1944, 80 years old).
In addition, as of the beginning of this year, the proportion of professional managers among CEOs was 83.4%, an increase of 1.6 percentage points (14 people) compared to three years ago. The proportion of owner families fell by 1.6 percentage points (10 people) from 18.2% (121 people) at the end of 2020 to 16.6% (111 people) at the beginning of this year.
The average age of the owner family decreased by 0.2 years from 59.7 years at the end of 2020 to 59.5 years at the beginning of this year. Although the age of CEOs of the top 500 companies is increasing, the average age of the owner family has slightly decreased.
This is believed to be due to the succession of CEOs from the generation of children of owners in their 40s who were appointed as CEOs in the second half of last year. Specifically, GS Group owner Heo Yun-hong (45 years old) is the CEO of GS E&C, LS 3rd generation owner Koo Dong-hwi (42 years old) is the CEO of LS M&M, and Celltrion Group owner Seo Jin-seok (40 years old) is the CEO of Celltrion. Each has been appointed as a representative.
The proportion of female CEOs of the top 500 companies was still low at around 2%, both three years ago and now. The number of female CEOs of the top 500 companies was 2.4% (16 people) at the beginning of this year, an increase of only 0.4 percentage points (3 people) compared to the end of 2020 (2.0%, 13 people).
During this period, eight companies appointed female CEOs, including LG Household & Health Care, Sae-A Trading, Suhyup Bank, CJ Olive Young, Our Home, Kakao, Korea Gas Corporation, and Hanssem. During the same period, female CEOs retired from five companies, including KB Securities, Coca-Cola Beverage, Korea Expressway Corporation, Hansae Industry, and Homeplus.
