Kwon Seon-joo, vice president of risk management at the Industrial Bank of Korea, was named new president of the state-owned financial institution yesterday to succeed Cho Jun-hee. Kwon, 57, will be the country’s first woman bank president.

The Financial Services Commission said yesterday that its chairman, Shin Je-yoon, recommended Kwon as IBK’s new president.
