BMW Korea chief Kim Hyo-joon, who is also concurrently senior executive of the German carmaker group, will be promoted to senior vice president, company officials said on Wednesday.

BMW is currently led by 350 senior executives in the world and only 50 of them are appointed as senior vice president.

According to the company, a senior vice president is the highest position after the executive board members in BMW.

Company officials said BMW has highly regarded Kim’s contribution to sales boost in the domestic market. His leadership has brought BMW Korea to the top of the imported car market.

BMW Korea’s sales marked the highest last year, showing a 17.3 percent increase than that of the year before.

Kim will start his new position starting from June, officials said.
