Our Financial Group has replaced all six chief executive officers (CEOs) of its subsidiaries whose terms expire at the end of this year.
On the 20th, Our Financial Group announced that it had completed the recommendations for candidates for chief executives of six subsidiaries, including Our Card and Our Financial Capital, through the subsidiary representative director candidate recommendation committee.
The candidate recommendation committee of Our Financial Group has appointed Jin Sung-won, former head of Operation at Hyundai Card, for Our Card. This marks the first time an external individual has been appointed CEO of a subsidiary in Our Financial Group. Jin, who has worked in the card industry for over 30 years since starting at Samsung Card in 1989, is regarded as an industry expert with proven capabilities in key areas such as marketing, CRM, retail, and operations. The committee explained that it appointed an external expert to create new growth momentum amid stagnation since the launch of Our Card in 2014.
Ki Dong-ho, former head of corporate investment banking at Our Bank, has been nominated as the final candidate for the CEO of Our Financial Capital. Ki joined Our Bank in 1993 and has held various positions, including head of the Yeouido corporate sales headquarters, deputy head of the investment banking group, and head of corporate investment banking. The candidate recommendation committee of Our Financial Group noted, "We believe that Ki can further enhance the corporate investment banking competitiveness of Our Financial Capital based on his expertise and field experience in the IB and corporate finance sectors."
Kim Beom-seok, former head of domestic sales at Our Bank, is set to lead Our Asset Trust. Kim, who joined Our Bank in 1990, has been recognized as an expert in credit review and real estate finance, having served as head of the large enterprise review department, deputy head of the real estate finance group, and head of domestic sales. He was acknowledged by the candidate recommendation committee as the right person to manage issues related to asset trusts, such as responsibility-based establishments, while diversifying the business portfolio.
Kim Gun-ho, former head of the capital markets group at Our Bank, has been appointed as the head of Our Financial F&I. Kim joined Our Bank in 1988 and has worked in various roles including head of the global investment support center, head of future business promotion at Our Financial Holdings, and deputy head of the capital markets group. Since Our Financial F&I was established in 2022 and had a successful early entry into the NPL market, Kim has been noted as the right candidate to strengthen the core competitiveness and organizational structure for sustainable growth by 2025.
Jeong Hyun-ok has been appointed as the first female CEO of Our Credit Information. Born in 1970, Jeong joined Our Bank in 1992 and has cultivated diverse work experience and an innovative mindset, having served as head of the Gangnam sales headquarters, head of the investment product strategy group, and deputy minister of the financial consumer protection group.
In addition, Yoo Do-hyun, former head of the management planning group at Our Bank, has been named as a final candidate for the CEO of Our Fund Service. An official from Our Financial Group noted, "We have recommended CEO candidates with expertise, innovativeness, and sales capabilities through rigorous verification inside and outside the group," adding that they expect the CEOs to lead change and innovation to establish a stronger internal control foundation and create remarkable sales achievements, thereby restoring trust in Our Financial Group.
The six candidates for the CEO positions of the subsidiaries, recommended by the candidate recommendation committee of Our Financial Group, are expected to officially start their duties in January after being finally appointed at the respective shareholder meetings scheduled for the end of December.
