Kunoh Kim, a seasoned fintech professional, has been appointed as the new CEO of Hyosung Americas, headquartered in Irving. Known globally for its innovative ATM hardware, software, and services catering to financial and retail sectors, Hyosung Americas welcomes Kim as the successor to Sang Hwan Kweon, who was promoted from Chief Operating Officer to CEO in September 2022 following the retirement of former CEO Hee-Eun Ahn.

Nancy Gail Daniels, Chief Revenue Officer of Hyosung Americas, expressed enthusiasm for Kim’s appointment, emphasizing his intelligence, business acumen, and recent success in driving fintech and retail technology ventures in Korea. She anticipates that Kim’s expertise will significantly benefit Hyosung Americas’ growing business in North America.

The company’s commitment to innovation is further highlighted by the introduction of its “Hyosung Innovue” brand identity and the rollout of Cajera Series ATMs capable of handling bill payments, crypto transactions, and cash recycling.

With over 26 years of leadership experience in fintech innovation, Kim has played a pivotal role in advancing Hyosung’s integrated payment solutions and leveraging big data platforms. Before joining Hyosung Americas, Kim served in leadership roles at Hyosung TNS and Hyosung Corp., where he spearheaded the launch of retail solution products such as self-order and self-checkout kiosks.

Expressing gratitude for the warm reception from the Hyosung Americas team, Kim affirmed his commitment to contributing to the company’s success in North America. He expressed confidence in achieving great outcomes together with the talented team at Hyosung Americas.
