Among those recognized are Mr. Pedro Esteva, member of the Board of Directors, for his 30 years of service in the organization; and Gustavo Ariza, executive president, with 20 years leading the transformation of the financial entity.
In his speech, Ariza summarized the main milestones of the organization's last two decades, highlighting APAP's capacity for reinvention and transformation.
"The consolidation of the digital transformation process and the strengthening of the corporate governance system has allowed us to have significant growth in recent years and maintain our leadership among the five main entities of the financial system," Ariza pointed out.
“The implementation of previous strategic plans had resulted in the creation of new institutional and financial capabilities that made us a stronger and more efficient entity. These new strengths motivated us to challenge ourselves even more and to set more ambitious goals, as we have the talent and ideas to generate greater value for our clients and partners,” underlined the executive president of APAP.
The executive highlighted "the leadership culture and the philosophy of transparency thanks to a responsible management practice that starts in the Board of Directors and senior management, and that touches all the structures of the organization."
Likewise, Gustavo Ariza acknowledged the legacy of the founders of APAP, who in 1962 gave rise to the financial entity created by law number 5897 and which has become a benchmark for good practices in the sector.
