A key element of our strategy is our talent and leadership
– it has never been more important to have the right people in the right positions, valuing our internal talent, our surname Santander. As part of this focus, I am happy to announce that Gilberto Abreu, our Giba, will be the new executive vice president of Corporate from 16.May.22, succeeding João de Biase – who after 2 years of Santander follows for new personal and professional projects.
Giba’s trajectory in Santander begins in 2004, when we started the area of digital channels. Since then, Giba has led and structured several of our businesses, such as insurance, real estate, consortium, credit, investments, and a stint at PJ. He is also a leading professional in our ecosystem, having been responsible for Santander Asset for almost 2 years, as well as a member of the board of Zurich Santander, Pi (current Toro) and Olé Consignado. Over the past 7 months, he has been Director of Strategy, successfully supporting the design of our new ambition. Graduated in production engineering from the Polytechnic School of USP, with an MBA at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Giba will join the Committee
Santander executive from May 16.
