Gov. Glenn Youngkin, U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and other officials gathered with Shim in Chesapeake in April to break ground for LS GreenLink USA’s roughly $700 million advanced cable manufacturing and port facility. The site will include a 750,000-square-foot production facility with the state’s tallest structure: a 660-foot tower needed to support the production of massive cables. It’s expected to be in operation in early 2028.
Shim, who joined South Korean parent company LS Cable & System in 2023, has a background in investment on the West Coast. He launched 1927 Capital Management, a private investment firm co-founded with a winemaking family, and worked at Mirae Asset Financial Group and Hana Financial. He also served as a planning commissioner in Upland, California, from 2020 to 2022.
A graduate of Claremont McKenna College, Shim has become involved in his new community, joining the board of the Virginia Maritime Association in 2024. He also is a member of the American Clean Power Association’s Federal Legislative Affairs Committee.
