HMM announced that Kyung-bae Kim has been nominated for the new HMM CEO. HMM selected Kyung-bae Kim, the former Hyundai Glovis CEO, as the final candidate for the next HMM CEO.

It came after the examination of multiple candidates was conducted by the CEO recommendation committee on 9 February. During the nominating process, a range of competencies, including leadership skills, global capability, and expertise, have been comprehensively considered to find the most suitable candidate.

Playing significant role
