BIZ BUZZ: Tan’s first for PH and BDO
The country’s largest bank has clinched another achievement yet again.
This time, BDO Unibank Inc. president and CEO Nestor Tan himself brought home the honors for his company.
Earlier this month, Tan was elected the first Filipino president of the International Monetary Conference (IMC).
“His appointment marks a milestone not only for BDO but also for the Philippine banking industry, which continues to gain recognition in the global financial community,” BDO said in a statement on Tuesday.
IMC, a nonprofit organization composed of chairs and CEOs from 58 of the world’s largest financial institutions, appointed Tan during their annual meeting in Brussels, Belgium.
No surprise here, especially since Tan has been steering the BDO ship for decades before eventually catapulting it to the top spot among Philippine banks, with P4.7 trillion in assets.
We’ll stay tuned for his plans during his term. Abangan!
