In 2004, he was appointed as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Korea Western Power Co. (a subsidiary of KEPCO). In 2007, he returned to KHNP as President and CEO to focus on the building of a nuclear safety culture as a priority and fostering human resources within Asia and other countries requiring nuclear power plants. With 35 years of experience in nuclear power generation, he has played a major role in the complete history of South Korea’s nuclear power development.

In 2008, Mr. Kim was awarded the Order of the Legion of Honour for his outstanding contribution to nuclear industry cooperation between South Korea and France. He received a Distinguished Service Award from the Project Management Institute in 2005. He also serves as Chairman of the Korean Society of Pressure Vessel and Piping, Vice-Chairman of the Korea Standards Association and is a Senior Advisor to the Korean Society for Quality Management.
