About Me

Shin Chang-Jae is the chairman and CEO of Kyobo Life Insurance, founded by his father in 1958 as Daehan Kyoyuk Insurance. When Shin assumed the posts in 2000, Kyobo was reeling from investment portfolio losses in the aftermath of the Asian financial crisis. He turned the company around, focusing on customer satisfaction and risk control. With a network of agents and financial planners, the company now offers insurance and asset-management products to more than 5 million customers.
