Former Daishin Securities senior adviser and fifth chairman of the foundation
Ulsan city on Thursday appointed veteran financier Han Yang-hyun, 64, as the ninth chairman of the Ulsan Credit Guarantee Foundation.
Han was recommended by the foundation's board of directors and became the first head of a Ulsan municipal agency under the ninth elected administration to undergo a city council confirmation hearing, following an ordinance on such hearings enacted by the Ulsan Metropolitan Council last August. His term runs through Sept. 30, 2028.
Han has held a series of roles at Daishin Securities since 1998, serving as branch manager, director, managing director, executive vice president and senior adviser. He also served on the board of the Ulsan Maeil newspaper and as chief executive of Daishin Balance Spec funds No. 8 and No. 13 before serving as the fifth chairman of the Ulsan Credit Guarantee Foundation from January 2015 to September 2018.
"Drawing on my experience in financial markets, I will manage the foundation so that small business owners and small and medium-sized enterprises can feel tangible support on the ground — through a solid guarantee supply system and sound financial management," Han said.
