Relevant Work Experience: BFSFCU Board Director and Finance and HR Committee member since 2020. In the past 26 years, I have covered different directorships and senior positions at the IFC-WBG, having managerial and decision-making responsibilities for new investments and portfolios in operations regionally and globally (South Asia, LAC, FIG SSA-LAC, FIG Global). I have extensive experience in banking, capital markets, in managing complex financial group investments and in the Fin-Tech sector. Strong knowledge of corporate governance and Financial Sector regulations. Over the years, I served for IFC on several boards of Universal and Investment Banks, Financial Companies, and Private Equity Advisory Boards.
Candidate’s Statement of Desire to Serve: I enjoyed serving on the BFSFCU Board and being an active member of the Finance and HR Committees for the last 3 years. In these roles, I worked to address the challenges created by the pandemic and the ones post-pandemic to adapt BFSFCU strategy, way of conducting business and financial management. I actively supported several initiatives, such as: a) adopting a new risk-based framework/products (Global Rewards), b) sound/prudent practices to strengthening financial stability, and c) improvements in the technology, cyber-security, HR practices and member services areas. Strong of my 35-years professional experience, I constructively contributed to Board and Committees’ decisions in an open dialogue with management. I strongly believe in BFSFCU’s role in serving its members through adaptation, forward thinking, products and platforms innovation and strong financials. Therefore, I would be honored to serve another term on the Board to ensure BFSFCU continued success.
