From Legacy to Intelligence: Marking the Next Chapter of HRCap
Written by HRCap, Inc.
Published January 2, 2026
HRCap, Inc. officially announces the appointment of Stella H. Kim as Chief Executive Officer & President, with Founder Andrew Sung Soo Kim transitioning into the role of Chairman, alongside the firm’s declaration of a company-wide transformation into a Global HR Intelligence Partner.
Founded in 2000, HRCap has grown into a globally recognized Executive Search and Total HR Solutions partner by helping organizations and people grow together across markets, cultures, and generations. Looking ahead, we will operate with AI as a core decision framework and growth engine, integrating decades of proprietary data, high-stakes talent judgment, and cross-border execution into scalable, people-centered HR Tech solutions.
Andrew Sungsoo Kim, Founder & Chairman of HRCap stated, “The past 25 years of HRCap have been a journey of connecting and growing people and organizations together. 2026 marks a pivotal point where that accumulated legacy becomes the foundation for defining new HR standards aligned with the ever-evolving AI era.”
In his new role, Chairman Kim will step back from day-to-day operations to focus on long-term vision setting, brand stewardship, and the expansion of global partnerships and networks, while continuing to support HRCap through strategic advisory leadership.
As we enter our 26th year, this milestone represents more than a leadership change. It signals a deliberate strategic evolution, built on 25 years of earned trust, execution, and institutional knowledge, now purposefully re-architected for the AI era.
Under Stella Kim’s new leadership, HRCap will accelerate our evolution into a Global HR Intelligence Partner, combining AI-driven insight with deep human expertise to help organizations make better decisions, move faster with confidence, and build systems that endure.
Stella H. Kim commented, “HRCap 2.0 is not a simple rebrand or a technology upgrade, but a deliberate evolution of how we think, decide, and lead. The future of HR will not be defined by technology alone, but by how we learn, adapt, and make decisions at scale. HRCap 2.0 reflects our commitment to shaping that future with contextual intelligence, shared responsibility, and a global perspective deeply grounded in humanity. We will continue to build intelligence that learns with people, systems that scale with accountability, and organizations that endure in a world shaped by constant change.”
This leadership transition marks a symbolic baton pass across generations, bridging East and West while harmonizing technology with human judgment. Stella’s appointment redefines the role of the global HR industry, strengthens the global presence of Asian-led enterprises and leadership, and reflects an evolution in which cultural localization and generational transition become the catalysts for the organization’s next chapter of growth.
Join us as we step into the next chapter of HRCap.
