Under his leadership, Hyundai has achieved consecutive record results which helped its parent Hyundai Motor Group (HMG) grow to be the third largest automaker in the world. He is a strong advocate for investing in new technologies and partnerships to make transportation safer and more sustainable.

Hyundai is responsible for creating 190,000 jobs in the U.S. and contributing more than $20 billion in economic impact annually. The additional investments Muñoz has overseen will bring tens of thousands of additional direct and indirect American jobs.

Muñoz joined Hyundai Motor Company in 2019 as president and global chief operating officer and president and CEO of Hyundai and Genesis Motor North America, where he oversaw consecutive record sales. In 2022, Muñoz was appointed to the Hyundai Motor Company Board of Directors.
