BNY Mellon has bolstered its team with the new appointment of Hyon Joo Park as country executive for Korea.
In her new role, Park will lead the team to grow BNY Mellon’s local services and capabilities across all businesses in Korea.
Based in Seoul, Park will report to David Cruikshank, BNY Mellon’s chairman of Asia Pacific.
During her career, Park has gained 25 years of financial industry experience and has held a range of leadership positions at top-tier global financial institutions.
Park joins BNY Mellon with a strong background in relationship management and the formulation of regional business and client strategies, in addition to experience in the transaction banking and commercial banking segments.
Outside Korea, Park has also been based in London and Hong Kong, helping her to develop a global mindset that will benefit BNY Mellon greatly in its position as a global financial business with a growing presence in Asia Pacific.
Park succeeds Sang Don Ji, who will be retiring on 31 May, following three years of service with BNY Mellon.
Cruikshank commented: “Korea is a strategic market for BNY Mellon. With a presence in the country spanning more than 30 years, we have developed an immensely successful business servicing our institutional clients, and we continue to see opportunities to further expand our local capabilities in the years ahead.”
“Park will be at the heart of further enhancing our growth, with the depth and breadth of her financial services experience and understanding of Korean clients’ needs. With her diverse background and strong credentials, Park is exceptionally well-placed to take BNY Mellon’s business in Korea to new heights and deliver service that is second to none for our clients”, Cruikshank added.
