Young-ki Kim is leaving the US bank to join Naver Corp.
A Naver spokesman said that Kim is set to become chief financial officer for two of the company's units. Naver Z, a metaverse platform, is one of the businesses.
The person is going to start at Naver in February. A representative for the company wouldn't say anything.
According to its website, Naver provides South Korea's top search portal as well as services including its Snow camera app, Webtoon and social media app Band. There are more than 300 million registered users of Zepeto.
This year, the tech company's shares have fallen by over 50%. In October, Naver agreed to buy Poshmark in a deal valued at over a billion dollars.
A year ago, Naver Z raised 223.6 billion won from a number of companies. Thailand is one of the fastest growing digital economies in the world.
