President Kim, born in 1964, is a global architectural business expert who graduated from Seoul National University’s Department of Architectural Engineering and the National University of Singapore’s Graduate School of Real Estate. He dedicated 36 years to Hyundai Engineering & Construction, serving as the head of overseas orders and execution for the architectural business division and as the head of the architectural business division. His major achievements include the Qatar National Museum and Medical City, Singapore Marina One mixed-use development, and Peru International Airport.

HanmiGlobal plans to expand its business in the North American region through this recruitment. Having entered 60 countries worldwide and executed over 2,900 projects, HanmiGlobal established a U.S. corporation in the North American region last year. Additionally, it acquired Otech, a comprehensive engineering company in the U.S., in 2011; Day CPM, a construction project management (PM) company specializing in public architecture, in 2017; and PM company Tarwhitman Group in 2021, respectively.

A HanmiGlobal official stated, "Due to recent large-scale infrastructure investments by the U.S. government and reshoring policies (return of overseas enterprises to the domestic market), the North American construction market is experiencing rapid growth. We will expand our business in the North American region and strengthen our position as a global PM company."
