Mirae Asset Securities names Heo Sun-ho as new CEO

Mirae Asset Securities, Korea’s top investment bank, has appointed Vice Chairman Heo Sun-ho as CEO, finalising its dual leadership system with Vice Chairman Kim Mi-seob, who was appointed earlier in October. The decision, made at a recent board meeting, marks a generational shift in leadership. Heo will spearhead the wealth management and digital innovation sectors, while Kim will focus on expanding the firm’s global presence. Notably, Kim has been pivotal in developing the company’s overseas operations, starting with its first unit in Hong Kong in 2003. The company, in a statement, lauded both CEOs for their extensive experience in the financial investment industry and global management acumen. Their terms are set to end in March 2025.
