Visa Korea has named Iain Jamieson, former Philippine and Guam branch manager, as its country manager, the company announced last week.
The new chief’s term that is to begin in January will also include the role of establishing the Visa brand in Mongolia and expanding its business there as the country’s branch manager.
Jamieson joined the company in 1995 and held various major positions in the Asia-Pacific and Middle East, including the overall supervision of international affairs for the Asia-Pacific region, according to the company.
He graduated from the University of Leicester in the U.K. with a degree in management and was a semi-professional rugby player until 1997.
“I consider it a great honor to have joined the team at Visa Korea,” Jamieson was quoted as saying. “I will focus on continuing the growth and development of Korean firms with the aid of executive associates and staff members.”
