The Global Enterprise CEO Association (G-CEO) in Korea, representing the heads of global firms operating here, will implement more community service programs to fulfill the idea of "noblesse oblige," its new chairman said Thursday.
G-CEO Chairman Kim Kyung said the heads of 410 member companies will spare more time helping young jobseekers find employment, as well as assisting housewives who gave up their careers for marriage or childcare return to work.
Kim was elected as G-CEO's fourth chairman on Jan. 4, for a three-year term with the group that was founded in 2005.
"Our members meet once each month and the gathering has been mostly for friendship and network building," Kim said. "But what I would like to do is organize lectures given by professionals from different walks of life so that our members can learn something new every time we meet."
At the same time, the chairman hopes to more actively involve member CEOs in volunteer programs through which they can donate their talents.
"G-CEO members can mentor young people who are trying to find jobs or seeking advice about their careers or other occupation-related issues," the chairman said. "I believe there are many ways CEOs can share their talents. I will raise the profile of G-CEO by actively implementing diverse community programs."
Kim has been serving as the regional country manager for Korea and Asia at Cynergy Care, a global healthcare company. He is well versed with the healthcare management industry and has worked for global companies including AIG Life and Life Insurance Company of North America.
Kim earned a master's degree in public administration from Yonsei University. He also served as an officer in the Navy.
Kim has served as a policy advisor for the Ministry of Strategy and Finance and other ministries throughout his career.
