BIZ BUZZ: UBx appoints Dan Marogy, its new CEO

The financial technology arm of Union Bank of the Philippines has chosen a new leader, a little over two months since its previous CEO, John Januszczak, stepped down.

The Aboitiz-led bank on Monday told the exchange it had appointed Dan Marogy the CEO of UBx Philippines, effective Sept. 1.

The former CEO of food delivery platform Foodpanda Philippines succeeds Januszczak, who stepped down in June to focus on “personal priorities,” and Mario Domingo, who was appointed officer in charge during the transition period.

“We are excited to welcome Dan as the new CEO of UBx,” said Jose Emmanuel Hilado, UBx chair. “His proven leadership and deep expertise in scaling digital platforms will be instrumental in accelerating UBx’s growth and advancing our mission to build the future of financial services through innovations in embedded finance.”
