Hyundai Motor Names Jose Munoz as CEO, First Foreign Leader

Live Mint  

-- Hyundai Motor Co. named Jose Munoz as chief executive officer, making him the first foreigner to lead the South Korean automaker as it seeks to grow outside its home country. Munoz, 59, joined Hyundai in 2019 as global chief operating officer, taking responsibility for the carmaker’s north and south American operations. Munoz’s appointment is “innovative and surprising,” and will change Hyundai’s workplace culture, said Park Ju-gun, head of corporate research firm Leaders Index. In other changes, Sung Kim was named president of Hyundai Motor and Jun Young Choi was promoted to president of sister company Kia Corp. Hyundai Motor Chairman Euisun Chung will remain in his role.
