Since April 2016, Ms. Kim has served as the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Senegal, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Cabo Verde, playing a critical role in enhancing bilateral relationships between Korea and the six countries in West Africa. In her most recent role, she has managed a large program by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and maintained a cordial relationship with the GGGI Senegal team – both of which will serve as valuable assets for leading the GGP&I Division.

Prior to taking on this post, she had worked at GGGI for more than two years as the Director of Strategy, Policy and Communications, liaising with the Korean government, directing resource mobilization, and developing the GGGI Strategic Plan.

Ms. Kim brings GGGI a wealth of experience as a diplomat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spanning over 25 years. Previously, she was posted to the UN in New York, and at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris and has a long history of engagement with international organizations.

Frank Rijsberman, GGGI’s Director General commented “We are thrilled to be welcoming back someone who has been so closely associated with the development of GGGI. Back in 2010, Ambassador Kim was directly involved in the creation of GGGI when it was first launched as a Korean NGO, and she also contributed to drafting the organizations Strategic Plan during her time as the Director of Strategy Policy and Communications between 2013 to 2016. Her enthusiasm and commitment to building a resilient, prosperous and inclusive future for our planet will help us to scale up the success that GGGI delivers on the ground.”
