Hwang was appointed as CEO of Eland Eats, which operates several well-known restaurants brands such as ASHLEY and Nature Kitchen. Born in 1982, he is also the youngest CEO in his industry.
Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Hwang initiated a home meal replacement (HMR) delivery service and launched an upgraded ASHLEY QUEENS, earning recognition for his innovative project management.
