Han Hyeong-gu, acting vice president of the Credit Support Headquarters, has served for many years as head of corporate credit review at KB Kookmin Bank, was the representative of the Gangwon-Gyeonggi Northern Regional Sales Group, and is currently an executive director at KB Capital’s Credit Operations Headquarters. As a credit sales expert, he is expected to contribute to the introduction of an advanced credit system and new review techniques.

Meanwhile, along with the executive appointments, 33 young and capable new branch managers at grade 3 were massively appointed to cope with the increasingly fierce sales environment, including the appointment of 10 female branch managers, marking a generational change and selection to prepare for the sales battle.

Song Jong-wook, president of Gwangju Bank, said, “This executive appointment considered work ability, passion, and internal and external reputation, and above all, selected the right candidates to make Gwangju Bank a customer-centered bank. By fully utilizing each executive’s strengths and placing them in the right positions, we maximized organizational efficiency. Going forward, we will continue to establish a healthy organizational culture through fair and transparent personnel policies and appoint many employees recognized for their sales capabilities.”
