Mr Cheol W Park currently serves as the Investor Relations Executive Officer at Shinhan Financial Group.
 

Mr Park joined Shinhan Financial Group in 2002 and has held various roles, including positions in Corporate Strategy, International Business Development, and Subsidiary Management. After more than a decade with Shinhan Financial Group, he transitioned to Shinhan BNP Paribas Asset Management as the Head of the Corporate Strategy Management Office. In this role, he oversaw governance, strategy, finance, and HR for the asset management joint venture between Shinhan Financial Group and BNP Paribas, the French banking group.

In 2018, Mr Park returned to Shinhan Financial Group’s holding company, where he has been actively promoting IR activities through transparent communication with investors. Following a reorganization in January 2024, the IR function was further strengthened, and the position of IRO was elevated to an executive level, reflecting the growing importance of shareholder engagement.
