José Sevilla presenta su renuncia como presidente de Unicaja tras más de dos años al frente del banco
El banquero asumió el liderazgo de la entidad para pacificar el consejo y reactivar el negocio
José Sevilla, the long-time president of Unicaja, has announced his resignation from the bank's top position after more than two years in the role. The move comes as part of a peacekeeping effort following the bank's merger with Liberbank in 2021. During his tenure, Unicaja has experienced a turnaround, posting a 7.1% increase in profits in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year, and raising its dividend by 28%.
The bank's shares have quadrupled in value since Sevilla's appointment as president. In an upcoming board meeting scheduled for April, Sevilla plans to step down from his position as he declines to seek re-election. While he will not leave the bank immediately, his departure marks the closure of a significant chapter in the company's history.
