Mirae Asset Daewoo chooses four female executives. April. 16, 2016 07:14. by 이건혁기자 gun@donga.com. Mirae Asset Group Chairman Park Hyun-joo's first move after taking over KDB Daewoo Securities was "women." He has chosen four women as new executives and promoted two female executives. Park held an event where he shared his vision of management with employees.

Mirae Asset Daewoo announced on Friday that the company had a special promotion: two female executives were promoted as senior executives and four female managers were promoted as new executives. The new senior executives are Lee Kyung-min and Seo Jae-yeon from PBClass Galleria (Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul). The new executives are Lee Kyung-sook and three others from a branch in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul. Due to this change, now the number of female executives has increased from five to nine.

Mirae Asset Daewoo stated, "We expect that the promotions would give a strong encouragement to our female employees who account for 40 percent of the company as well as the sales department and the wealth management department." The promotion can be seen as an effort to make changes to the male-centered corporate culture of Daewoo Securities. Chairman Park has reportedly cared about the promotion, receiving every report about it directly.

At Four Seasons Hotel in central Seoul on Friday afternoon, Chairman Park held a meeting on management strategies and presented his management goal to executives, managers of the head office, and branch managers. The meeting was the first time Park met low-level managers.
