TOYO Appoints Yasunari Harada as Chief Financial Officer and Director

TOYO Co., Ltd. has appointed Yasunari Harada as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Director, effective July 1, 2026, strengthening its leadership team as the solar manufacturing company advances its global growth strategy.

Harada succeeds Taewoo “Raymond” Chung, who stepped down as CFO and Director on June 30, 2026. In his new role, Harada will oversee TOYO’s financial strategy, investor relations, and capital markets engagement.

Harada brings more than three decades of experience in investment banking and financial leadership. His career includes senior positions at The Industrial Bank of Japan, Morgan Stanley Securities, BNP Paribas Securities, and Société Générale Securities, where he served as Managing Director and Head of Financial Institutions in Tokyo. He has also served on the boards of several financial institutions across Asia and Central Asia, including Kyrgyzkommertsbank, Solid Bank, and Khan Bank.

Commenting on the appointment, Takahiko Onozuka, Chief Executive Officer of TOYO, said Harada’s expertise would help refine the company’s financial strategy, strengthen engagement with the investment community, and expand its institutional presence. He also thanked outgoing CFO Raymond Chung for his contributions to the company.

Harada said he looks forward to working with TOYO’s leadership team to enhance shareholder value, strengthen the company’s financial position, and showcase its growth potential to the global investment community.

TOYO said the appointment further reinforces its leadership team as the company continues its strategy of becoming a vertically integrated solar manufacturer, spanning wafer and silicon production, solar cells, photovoltaic modules, and other segments of the solar value chain.
