JAKARTA - The change of ranks was carried out by a Hyundai vehicle distributor company in Indonesia, PT Hyundai Motors Indonesia (HMID). They announced that Fransiscus Soerjopranoto will fill the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO) for HMID starting August 1, 2023.

This is not the first time he has served as a high-ranking automotive company in Indonesia. The man who is familiarly called Suryo has been involved in the automotive industry in Indonesia for more than 28 years.

Thanks to this experience, HMID entrusted it in carrying out operational strategies, marketing management innovations, company sales performance, and improving full-sale services from Hyundai.

President Director of PT HMID, Woojune Cha, said that by appointing Suryo to serve as COO, this could realize the company's vision with a focus on every line of business and operations. In the future, he believes that HMID will provide the best and most innovative products as well as a satisfactory full-sale service.

"Under Suryo's leadership, Hyundai can provide a complete ownership experience of innovative products and services," Cha said in a statement on Tuesday, August 1.

Suryo accepted the position of one of the high-ranking HMID officials, not without reason. He said that Hyundai showed extraordinary movement by creating various innovations or technologies presented in its product line in Indonesia.

"Of course this will be my motivation to continue the company's success and contribute more to achieving a new and better milestone and most importantly maximizing customer satisfaction," said Suryo.

Fransiscus Soerjopranoto occupies the COO position to replace the previous high-ranking official, Makmur Tahir. With his leadership, it is hoped that Hyundai will be more aggressive in offering several attractive products and services in Indonesia.

Before moving to Hyundai, Suryo had long served as one of the top officials of PT Toyota-Astra Motor (TAM) for several years. His last position was as Executive General Manager of the Toyota Training Center.
