Banesco USA in Puerto Rico announced the appointment of Humberto González as senior vice president and director of Corporate Banking, a newly created position on the island from which the veteran banker will lead the bank’s business development efforts. The bank said González will head the Corporate Banking relationship officers team and develop strategies to attract and retain clients in that segment.
He will also promote financing opportunities in commercial real estate and in the commercial and industrial segments, and will oversee the corporate loan portfolio, credit approval processes and the area’s performance and profitability indicators, keeping them aligned with the institution’s strategic goals, credit policies and risk parameters. Maritza Abadía, president of Banesco USA in Puerto Rico, said the appointment represents an important step in the bank’s growth strategy on the island and reaffirms its commitment to strengthening its capacity to serve local companies, and that González’s experience, market knowledge and track record will be key to identifying new business opportunities and supporting clients’ growth and expansion plans.
