He leads Shinyoung Securities under a co-CEO structure with President and CEO Kim Dae-il, with Geum overseeing investment banking (IB) and Kim heading wealth management (WM).
He is working to develop investment banking into one of the company’s core growth engines while maintaining its conservative risk management approach.
He was born on January 4, 1966.
He graduated from Shinil High School in Seoul and Yonsei University with a degree in business administration. He earned a master’s degree in business administration from Yonsei University’s graduate school.
He entered the financial investment industry by joining Tong Yang Merchant Bank. He worked as head of the bond underwriting team at Korea Investment & Securities, head of the IB team at Bridge Securities and head of the corporate finance team at Dongbu Securities.
He moved to Shinyoung Securities as a director in the Investment Banking Department.
