Hwang Seong-yeob, CEO of Shinyoung Securities, officially announced his intention to run for the seventh president of the Korea Financial Investment Association on the 5th.
On that day, Hwang noted through a 'candidate's statement' that, "Since joining Shinyoung Securities in 1987, I have witnessed changes and growth at the forefront of the capital market for 38 years," adding, "The president must listen to the voices of member companies and translate them into action, and I will be a president who listens better than anyone and definitely implements actions."
Born in 1963, Hwang graduated from Whimoon High School and studied business administration at Seoul National University. He has been active in the capital market for 38 years since joining Shinyoung Securities in 1987, progressing through roles in management planning, asset management, corporate business, investment banking, and overall management before being promoted to co-CEO.
He presented four core competencies that the president must have: ▲ ability to implement ▲ ability to relay policies ▲ insight ▲ dedicated leadership. He emphasized the importance of the ability to listen to the concerns of member companies and resolve them, cooperation based on trust with financial authorities, the National Assembly, and the media, analytical skills that penetrate the market, and responsible leadership to guide the association.
He also presented a vision for the future of the capital market: ▲ Shift from a bank-centered to a capital market-centered approach linked with national strategic industries ▲ Transition of household asset flow (shifting from real estate concentration to the stock market and pension market to strengthen the safety net for retirement) ▲ Innovation in regulatory frameworks (policy proposals through close communication with the National Assembly, financial authorities, and government departments) ▲ Building a growth platform for future industries (acting as a link between innovative companies and the capital market).
Hwang stated, "The Korea Financial Investment Association must become a strategic platform that listens to and connects the opinions of member companies," and added, "I will find a way together with member companies while directly engaging in the field."
