Lee Dong-hoo, CEO of Namuga, is recognized as an expert in the global manufacturing sensor industry. Since taking the helm in 2024, he has redefined the company's slogan to "Vision Connectivity" and is working to expand its business beyond camera modules into the fields of robotics and mobility.
Born in 1969, Lee earned his master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He joined LG Electronics' overseas sales team in 1995 and gained extensive experience in the U.S. manufacturing market during the 2000s. In 2002, he became an executive at Dover Technologies, a U.S. industrial automation company, where he oversaw advanced manufacturing and automation initiatives. By 2008, he was an executive at Tyco Electronics (now TE Connectivity), where he developed expertise in process automation, quality control, and the sensor industry ecosystem.
Lee has also served as the head of global business at Samsung S1 and as the Asia-Pacific general manager for HZO in the United States. Drawing on his experience in sensor technology and manufacturing innovation, he is focused on transforming Namuga from a camera module company into a sensor enterprise for the physical AI era.
"I wanted to apply the know-how I gained from global companies in the sensor and process automation fields to Korean businesses," Lee said. "I believe Namuga, which has manufacturing capabilities and needs to grow in the sensor sector, is the best company to leverage that experience."
