The Korean Commercial Arbitration Board International (KCAB International) is pleased to announce the appointment of Pui-Ki Emmanuelle Ta as Secretary-General, effective 1 April 2025. She will succeed Steve Kim, who has successfully completed his three-year term with exemplary dedication.

Pui-Ki brings over 20 years of expertise as an international arbitration counsel across various jurisdictions, with strategic development experience, having previously served in leadership roles at prominent arbitral institutions. This includes 15 years at the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), working at both the Paris headquarters and the Hong Kong Asia Office. Having served as a deputy counsel at ICC Paris, she later moved to Hong Kong to serve first as a founding member and then as counsel of ICC’s first overseas office leading the case management team there. During her tenure at the ICC, she handled over 1,000 cases, with a particular focus on Asia. A challenge-driven person, Pui-Ki then joined the newly established international online dispute resolution centre, eBRAM, where she acted as Chief Executive Officer and Secretary-General, and contributed to the growth of the institution.

Beyond her profound expertise in case management, Pui-Ki also maintains strong global connections with arbitral institutions and professionals, which she has built over 20 years of engagement in the field and will now bring to KCAB International to enhance its visibility and outreach in Korea and beyond.  

As Secretary-General, Pui-Ki will be responsible for overseeing KCAB International’s operations, including case management and business development. She will be committed to promoting KCAB International, strengthening connections with stakeholders, and advancing the institution’s ADR services.

Pui-Ki said, “I am thrilled to join KCAB International, at this exciting phase of restructuring and significant initiatives, including the revision of the rules. I am looking forward to working closely with Professor Seung Wha Chang, the Secretariat and the diverse committees. Together, we will continue to deliver outstanding, top-tier dispute resolution services to our users, adopt innovative approaches to enhance overall satisfaction, and uphold the highest standards of integrity and ethics. On a personal note, I am excited to reconnect with friends and colleagues in the vibrant Korean arbitration community, with whom I have had the privilege of working since 2001. I look forward to engaging with them to promote Seoul as a premier seat of arbitration.”

Professor Seung Wha Chang, Chairman of KCAB International, commented “I am delighted to welcome Pui-Ki as our new Secretary-General. With her leadership for the Secretariat, I strongly believe, KCAB International will provide world top-quality services for Asian arbitration community and beyond."

Alexis Mourre, former President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, noted “Emmanuelle combines a fine legal mind with the skills of an excellent team leader and an outstanding manager. Working with her when she led the ICC case management office in Hong Kong has always been a great pleasure. I am very glad that she will now bring her talent and energy to KCAB International and wish every success to her and the institution.”

Professor Mohamed Abdel Wahab, President Global of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators, Chair of the ICC Governing Body for Dispute Resolution Services, Dean of the Africa Arbitration Academy and former Vice-President of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, commented “Pui-Ki is a outstanding human, a responsible professional and a true achiever. Her cultural cosmopolitanism, passion and dedication to her work have always been her recipe for success and a source of inspiration to all those who work with her. She brings to KCAB International a unique set of impressive skills, abundant energy, profound expertise and significant experience that she has acquired over the years across various jurisdictions and sectors. Her experience in case management and in leading diverse teams, together with her business-oriented mindset and her pragmatic approach to innovation and excellence will no doubt be put to great use in her new role as Secretary General of KCAB International.”

KCAB International seeks to attract more ADR users and expand its market reach. As the preliminary step, it will welcome new senior management and renowned legal counsels who will work together to take the institution to the next chapter.
