German fund manager DWS has announced the promotion of Steven Kim to the role of head of real estate asset management.
Based in Seoul, he will report to Christopher Kimm, head of Apac real estate.
Kim’s new role will see him oversee large Apac-based developments and also head up the firm’s ESG strategies for its Apac real estate portfolio, working alongside local asset managers in the region.
The new appointee was formerly head of real estate asset management in Korea.
Prior to joining DWS, he was a real estate development manager at Samsung Life Insurance.
