HMM officially appoints Kim, Kyung Bae as new president & CEO

According to a decision that was already known, the South Korean shipping company HMM has officially appointed Kim, Kyung Bae as its new president and chief executive officer on 29 March 2022.

Kim’s appointment was approved by the board of directors and the 46th regular shareholders meeting, held at HMM headquarters in Seoul, the capital of South Korea.

Kim, Kyung Bae starts his two-year term with immediate effect, according to the company’s statement.
