iM Financial Group CEO succession process
Overview
iM Financial Group has initiated a formal process to select a new CEO ahead of Chairman Hwang Byeong-woo’s term expiration in March. The group extended its candidate verification period to enhance transparency and procedural legitimacy, following guidance from the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) to strengthen the independence of subsidiary CEO appointments.
By late October, the Chairman Candidate Recommendation Committee narrowed the pool of candidates to a long-list of six individuals. This selection followed an initial four-week verification period involving reputation checks by external agencies.
The process has moved into a second stage of verification, which includes in-depth interviews by independent directors and external experts to assess management philosophy and core competencies. A shortlist is expected by the end of November, leading to a final recommendation in December after candidates participate in a ‘3 Yrs. Visioning’ session to present their strategic direction.
