Hyundai Motor America has named Kyung Soo "Kenny" Lee as its president and chief executive in a move that will make Lee the fourth top executive in less than four years to lead sales for the Korean automaker.
Lee, who begins his role on Sept. 18, takes over for Jerry Flannery, who returns to his role as executive vice president and chief legal and safety officer. Flannery stepped into the top role in December, after the organization parted ways with Dave Zuchowski. He had led Hyundai Motor America for almost three years following the departure of John Krafcik at the end of 2013.
