Education
Choi Hyun-man attended Chonnam National University, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and International Relations (Class of 1980).[1] In June 2022, the university awarded him an Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration in recognition of his long-standing leadership in the financial industry and his contributions to his alma mater.[1]
Career
Choi is a co-founder of the Mirae Asset Financial Group, having joined the firm at its founding in 1997.[2] He has held several senior executive roles within the group, serving as the CEO of various subsidiaries, including Mirae Asset Securities.[3]
In December 2021, Choi was promoted to Chairman of Mirae Asset Securities. This appointment was noted as a significant milestone in the South Korean financial sector, as he became the first professional manager—who is not a member of a founding family—to rise to the position of chairman in a major brokerage firm.[2][4] Under his leadership, the firm grew into a global-tier investment bank.[3]
Following a leadership transition in late 2023, Choi stepped down from his active management role and was appointed as an Executive Advisor to the Mirae Asset Group.[4]
