Hana Financial Group held the Group Executive Candidate Recommendation Committee (Chu-wi Lim) on the 25th, and the next five major affiliates, including Hana Bank, Hana Financial Investment, Hana Card, Hana Capital, and Hana Savings Bank, whose term of office as CEO will expire next month. CEO candidates were selected and announced.
Vice-president Park, appointed as the head of Hana Bank, joined Hana Bank’s predecessor, Korea Investment Finance, after graduating from Seoul National University’s Department of Business Administration. Since then, he served as the head of Hana Bank’s Indonesian subsidiary, vice president of Hana Bank Asset Management Group, and CEO of Hana Financial TI, and is currently serving as vice president of Hana Bank Digital Retail Group.
Vice Chairman Park was evaluated as the right person to revitalize the organization with his extensive experience in the digital, global, and asset management fields, which are becoming increasingly important amid growing economic uncertainty at home and abroad and rapidly changing financial markets.
