BBVA has appointed Manuel Muñoz as the new head of Regulation, replacing Santiago Fernández de Lis. Fernández de Lis, a BBVA veteran with 15 years of experience, is stepping down after leading the bank's regulatory efforts for over a decade. Muñoz, a 39-year-old economist, previously served as a senior manager in the Executive Direction of Payments and Fintech at the Bank of England.
Over his two years there, he was heavily involved in the digital pound project and advised the International Payments Bank. Muñoz's career has also included roles at the Ministry of Economy, the European Central Bank, and the Treasury Cabinet. He holds a doctorate in Economics and Finance from the Complutense University and a master's degree from the Barcelona School of Economics.
As the new head of Regulation, Muñoz will report to Mario Pardo, who oversees BBVA's Global Institutional Engagement. The Regulatory Unit has gained significant importance in banks due to the dense regulatory landscape and increasing complexity of financial legislation in Europe, alongside the need for robust reporting to authorities.
