Citibank Korea has appointed Kim Kyoung-ho, its head of corporate banking, as its new CEO, ending a six-year leadership run under his predecessor, the lender said Tuesday.

Kim succeeds Yoo Myung-soon, who became the bank’s first female CEO in 2020. He will serve a three-year term.

Kim joined Citibank Korea in 2001 and has held a series of senior positions in corporate banking, including large corporate banking and financial institutions coverage, before being promoted to executive vice president in 2021.

On Sept. 22, the lender’s executive recommendation committee named him its sole candidate for the top post.

His appointment comes as Citi continues to reshape its Korean operations following its exit from consumer banking. With corporate banking now at the core of its local business, Kim’s challenge as an incoming chief will be to build on that strategic shift and ensure its strong performance going forward.

花旗韩国周二宣布，已任命其企业银行部主管金京浩为新任首席执行官，结束了其前任六年的领导任期。

金正恩接替于 2020 年成为该银行首位女性 CEO 的柳明顺，任期三年。

金于 2001 年加入花旗韩国，在企业银行部门担任过一系列高级职位，包括大型企业银行和金融机构业务，之后于 2021 年晋升为执行副总裁。

9月22日，该贷款机构的执行推荐委员会提名他为最高职位的唯一候选人。

在花旗集团退出零售银行业务后，正持续调整其在韩国的业务布局，金正恩的任命正值此时。如今，企业银行业务已成为花旗在韩国的核心业务，金正恩作为新任首席执行官的挑战在于，如何巩固这一战略转型，并确保其未来业绩持续强劲增长。
