Kim Dong-ho, CEO and founder of Korea Credit Data, has been selected as one of the Young Global Leaders (YGL) of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in 2025.
The World Economic Forum is a program that selects promising leaders under the age of 38 every year, and YGL alumni include global figures such as Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, and Jack Ma, chairman of Alibaba. Politicians who have been named include former British Prime Minister James Cameron and former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. In Korea, Hyundai Motor Group Chairman Chung Eui-sun, Naver Chairman Lee Hae-jin, and Viva Republica CEO Lee Seung-gun have been selected for YGL.
Since the early days of his business, CEO Kim has provided management services to 1.7 million businesses nationwide through 'Cash Note', a service that supports data-based management of small business owners. Recently, he has been leading the Korea Small Business Bank Consortium with the goal of establishing 'the first bank for small business owners', and is simultaneously realizing financial inclusion and innovation.
As part of the YGL program for three years starting in 2025, CEO Kim Dong-ho will participate in academic modules and immersive leadership programs at leading educational institutions around the world, and will also attend the World Economic Forum’s global events. Through this, CEO Kim plans to further strengthen his global leadership and expand international management innovation and social influence.
