In a move that signals Goldman's efforts to boost its Korean operations, the US investment bank has hired an old Korea hand to run its local investment banking operation.

Lee Epstein returns to Seoul from a three year stint in California where he ran his own consulting firm called the Peerless Group and was adjunct professor in finance at Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management.
