Deutsche Bank announces leadership changes in South Korea

Deutsche Bank announced that Hyun-Nam Park has been appointed Chief Country Officer of South Korea, in addition to her role as Branch Manager of Deutsche Bank AG Seoul. ET Park has also been appointed CEO of Deutsche Securities Korea. These appointments come following the announcement that Samuel (Sam) Kim, the current Chief Country Officer for South Korea and Chairman of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) for Asia Pacific, will relocate to New York to become Deutsche Bank’s Global Head of M&A.

Hyun-Nam has held numerous leadership roles across her 25+ year tenure with Deutsche Bank, spanning Treasury, the Investment Bank, and the Corporate Bank. She is also active in representing Deutsche Bank as a leader in the Korea business and finance community. She is Korean Chairperson of the Korean-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. ET was recently the Head of Coverage Korea, leading sales and coverage teams across the Corporate and Investment Bank, and has also held a variety of senior roles with the bank since he joined the bank in 2006.

Chandra Mallika, CEO for Developed Asia Pacific at Deutsche Bank, said: “We are proud to be able to draw from a deep bench of strong talent to fill these Country Management roles internally, and are confident that our Korea franchise will continue to thrive under Hyun-Nam and ET’s leadership. We wish Sam all the best in his new role and look forward to his continued support and partnership as he takes on his global M&A responsibilities.”
