The Haverford<\/span> alumnus, financier, philanthropist, and author steps up as the College begins to implement its ambitious strategic plan.<\/i><\/p>\n

HAVERFORD, Pa.<\/span>, March 7, 2024<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Michael B. Kim, Haverford College alumnus, founder-chairman of one of Asia’s<\/span> largest private equity firms, and best-selling novelist has been appointed Chair of the Haverford College<\/span> Board of Managers effective July 1<\/span>. The move comes as Haverford<\/span> embarks on an ambitious strategic plan that aims to grow its endowment by 50% within seven years. Kim previously served on the Board from 2005-17 and succeeds Charles G. Beever<\/span> ’74, whose 15 years of Board service included the chairmanship from 2019 to 2024.<\/p>\n

"I look forward to returning to the board and working, with Wendy Raymond<\/span> and the College leadership, with a renewed focus on our core mission of academic excellence, securing financial stability and supporting our special, values-based community."<\/p>\n

Haverford President Wendy E. Raymond<\/span> praised the move, and expressed appreciation for Michael’s eagerness to return to the Board.<\/p>\n

"Michael’s leadership service includes organizations such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Carnegie Hall, and Harvard Business School<\/span>, where he earned an MBA. And of all the worthy causes he is able to serve, Michael has chosen Haverford<\/span> as deserving his care and support. This speaks volumes about Michael \u2013 and Haverford<\/span>. His passion for the liberal arts, ethical leadership, and Haverford’s<\/span> distinctive place in higher education make him an ideal leader for Haverford College. It has been a joy to work with him during his term as vice chair of the Board, and I look forward to our next chapter together."<\/p>\n

A member of the Class of 1985, Kim is chairman of the North Asia<\/span> private equity firm MBK Partners. With more than $30 billion<\/span> under management, MBK Partners focuses on North Asia<\/span>, with offices in Seoul<\/span>, Hong Kong<\/span>, Beijing<\/span>, Shanghai<\/span>, and Tokyo<\/span>. Kim describes his approach to leadership as "TIE – teamwork, integrity, and excellence," qualities he says align with the Haverford<\/span> he attended, and the Haverford<\/span> of today.<\/p>\n

The change in leadership, which was expected given Charley Beever’s<\/span> plans to complete Board service this year, comes at a vital moment in Haverford’s<\/span> history. The College is laying the groundwork for a comprehensive fundraising campaign in support of the Haverford<\/span><\/a> 2030: <\/a>Better<\/a> Learning, Broader Impact<\/a><\/i> strategic plan. With new foundational elements such as an Institute for Ethical Inquiry and Leadership, and features including action-based and high-impact learning beyond the classroom and enhanced career services, the plan promises to prioritize the need for creators and leaders who will engage the world’s unprecedented and continuing challenges.<\/p>\n

Beever says Kim is well-suited to lead the College through this critical juncture.<\/p>\n

"I’ve known Michael for more than 15 years. His self-made success is matched only by his commitment to Haverford<\/span>, and I couldn’t be more excited to see where Haverford<\/span> will go under his leadership."<\/p>\n

Kim is also a published author \u2013 "putting my English degree to good use!", he has said. His novel Offerings<\/a><\/i>, published in 2020, is a coming-of-age story that resonates with thematic complexities that Michael has personally experienced, and which journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell<\/span> describes as the tension between "art and commerce, conscience and obligation." The book is being made into a<\/a> movie.<\/a><\/p>\n

Haverford’s<\/span> Board of Managers<\/a> establishes policies related to governance, the course of study, and the management of the College’s resources. It currently seats 30 members including the president and meets four times a year. Kim’s first meeting as Chair is scheduled for October.<\/p>\n
