About the Speaker

Ambassador Sung Kim, Senior Advisor at BKL

Sung Kim earned his degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (B.A.), the Loyola Marymount University (J.D.), and the London School of Economics (LL.M.). He started his career as a public servant as a U.S. prosecutor. With his appointment as a diplomat in 1998, Mr. Kim started to gain experience as the first Korean-American to serve as head of the U.S. State Department's South Korea bureau. In 2008, the then President Barack Obama appointed him as a special envoy for the six-party talks.

Mr. Kim became the first Korean-American to serve as the U.S. ambassador to South Korea in 2011. Later, he assumed such positions as U.S. special representative for North Korea Policy and acting assistant secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and has since worked as a key expert on East Asia in the United States.

Amidst the recent international environment with increasing uncertainties and the complex global crisis, Mr. Kim is providing his advice to effectively support overseas operations of the Korean companies that look to expand their market and explore investment opportunities.
