Yoon Jong-won Administration Accelerates 'Innovative Management'... Industrial Bank of Korea Conducts Regular Personnel Changes in Second Half

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Min-young] IBK Industrial Bank conducted its regular personnel reshuffle for the second half of this year on the 23rd, promoting and transferring a total of 1,923 employees, including the promotion of nine regional headquarters chiefs.

Prior to this regular personnel reshuffle, on the 20th, the bank carried out an organizational restructuring focused on ‘innovative management,’ including the establishment of the Innovation Finance Group and Asset Management Group, and appointed three new vice presidents. A bank official stated, “With this regular personnel reshuffle, we have established a full lineup to actively promote innovative management.”

This personnel reshuffle further concretized the personnel principles of ‘fairness and inclusion’ that IBK Industrial Bank President Yoon Jong-won has emphasized since his first regular personnel reshuffle in February after taking office.

In particular, to enhance the ‘fairness and transparency’ of senior-level personnel appointments, a ‘criteria for appointing headquarters chiefs’ was newly established, and based on this standard, a total of nine new headquarters chiefs were appointed from a verified pool of candidates.

Four branch managers who demonstrated outstanding performance in the field were promoted to headquarters chiefs. Lim Moon-taek, manager of the Juan Industrial Complex Sarang Branch, was appointed as the Incheon Regional Headquarters Chief; Kim Ki-won, manager of the Pyeongchon Branch, as the Busan-Ulsan Regional Headquarters Chief; Do Kyu-ho, manager of the Gyeongsan Industrial Complex Branch, as the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Western Regional Headquarters Chief; and Kim Tae-hyun, manager of the Seongseo Industrial Complex Branch, as the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Eastern Regional Headquarters Chief.

Four department heads at headquarters were also promoted to headquarters chiefs. Kwon Yong-dae, head of the Credit Planning Department, was appointed as the head of the Innovation Finance Department (headquarters chief level); Kim In-tae, head of the Corporate Customer Department, as the Southern Regional Headquarters Chief; Son Geun-soo, senior credit examiner of the Credit Examination Department, as the head of the Credit Examination Department (headquarters chief level); and Choi Kwang-jin, head of the Investment Finance Department, was elevated to headquarters chief.

Yoon Sang-yoon, deputy head (department head level) of the China branch, was appointed as the new head of the China Limited Corporation.

President Yoon said, “We will continue to systematize and organize personnel based on ‘fairness and inclusion,’” adding, “Through this regular personnel reshuffle and organizational restructuring, we have ensured effective support for ‘innovative management.’”
