By Lee Kyung-min
Dual Corp., a Seoul-based car parts manufacturer, has appointed global investment banking expert Rha Han-ik as its CEO, according to the firm Monday.
Rha worked at Macquarie, an Australian investment bank, and Nomura Securities, before he became CFO at Helixmith, a local biotech firm.
He is a graduate of Boston College in Massachusetts and has a master's degree from Ohio State University.
Dual Corp. expects Rha to play a key role in outlining the firm's mid- to long-term growth strategy, following a planned merger with a new firm separated from OncoQuest Pharmaceuticals Inc.
“The appointment of Rha as a CEO will help boost share values and promote business strategies on stable management,” the firm said.
