FedEx Express announces appointment of new managing director in South Korea

FedEx Express announced that it has appointed a new managing director for its branch in South Korea. The company said Park Won Bin will be taking over the said role from Chae Eun Mi, who has been with FedEx Korea for more than three decades now.

FedEx Express is a subsidiary of the international delivery and transport firm FedEx Corp., which is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee. Park will replace Chae, who is retiring after 31 years of illustrious service to the company.

As per The Korea Times, Park Won Bin is not a newcomer to the firm as he is a returning employee. He officially rejoined FedEx Express on Oct. 1, and prior to his comeback, he had already spent more than a decade in the company.

Throughout his career with the express delivery firm, he has held many roles that were said to have played big roles in driving the company’s growth. He was also involved in the FedEx Incheon Gateway relocation project.

Moreover, Park was one of the main players in the launch of 777F, which connects the FedEx World Hub in Memphis to Incheon in South Korea. In any case, Park said that he is happy to be back and work with top-notch employees who only strive to give the best services to customers.

"In order to fully utilize the potential of global trade opportunities, Korean companies are focusing on building smarter and more sustainable supply chains and efficient networks to prepare for the future," FedEx Express’ vice president of the north pacific region, Jeremy Goldstrich, said in a press release. "Park's experience will serve as a valuable foundation in this process," he added.

He added, “We are delighted to welcome Wonbin back to FedEx. His experience will be invaluable as we continue to transform our business for what’s next, focusing on building smarter and more sustainable supply chains and an efficient network enabling Korean businesses to harness the full potential of global trade opportunities.”
