Gwangju Bank, Organizational Restructuring and Executive Appointments... "Strengthening Future Growth Engines"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Gwangju Bank (President Song Jong-wook) announced on the 28th that it has carried out executive personnel appointments by internally selecting and appointing four deputy general managers at the executive level.

With two existing deputy general managers retiring, innovative personnel appointments were made combining excellent work capabilities and outstanding sales performance with expertise. The organization was restructured and personnel renewed to focus organizational capabilities on digital finance and overseas business, which are core growth engines for the future, and to strengthen the financial consumer protection system.

Through this reorganization, the Digital Headquarters, which oversees digital finance, separated its business areas into the Digital Strategy Headquarters and the Digital Sales Headquarters. Under the Digital Strategy Headquarters, the Digital Channel Department and MyData Business Team were newly established, and the existing Customer Center was relocated under the Digital Sales Headquarters to focus capabilities on enhancing expertise and profitability.

Additionally, to strengthen support systems for the overseas business division, an Overseas Business Support Team was newly established to focus on expanding future revenue bases, and a Financial Consumer Protection Headquarters was established to reinforce financial consumer protection.

In this executive personnel appointment, in preparation for the increasing uncertainties in the financial environment in the With-Corona era, new executives were actively selected from department heads with excellent sales performance and outstanding work capabilities at branches, aiming to stabilize the organization and expand sales power while building a new camp to pursue proactive change.

Meanwhile, in branch manager appointments, 20 newly appointed Grade 3 branch managers who are young, competent, and possess an innovative digital finance mindset were assigned to face the increasingly fierce sales environment. In particular, six female branch managers were appointed, marking a generational change along with selective appointments.

This personnel appointment is evaluated as actively reflecting the usual conviction of President Song Jong-wook, who emphasizes sales power and a digital mindset as the representative bank of Gwangju and Jeonnam.

Song Jong-wook, President of Gwangju Bank, said, “We considered work ability, passion, and internal and external reputation, and above all, selected new executives who are the right fit to expand Gwangju Bank’s future growth engines and make it a customer-centered regional representative bank. We maximized organizational efficiency by fully utilizing each executive’s strengths and placing them in the right positions.” He added, “Going forward, we will continue to establish a healthy organizational culture through fair and transparent personnel policies and appoint many employees recognized for their expertise and sales capabilities.”
