Kim joined KIC in 2009 after working at Samsung Life Insurance’s asset management division for more than 20 years.
Kim’s appointment came after KIC CEO Eun Sung-soo, who took office in January, vowed to enhance transparency of the $91.8 billion national wealth fund’s management under a KIC reform plan.
The plan includes separating the role of a compliance officer from chief risk officer to make internal controls more stringent.
KIC is currently hiring chief investment officer, chief risk management officer and a compliance officer. Key executive members of the KIC -- COO, CIO and CRO -- resigned in February, two days after the CEO’s announcement of reform plan.
