  "account": "Unicaja has hired headhunter firm Spencer Stuart to find a new president, following José Sevilla's decision not to be reappointed. The bank will maintain an independent president, and the new appointee is expected to have banking experience and prestige. The search is at an early stage, with Spencer Stuart tasked with finding suitable candidates, and the Commission de Nombramientos, led by María Luisa Arjonilla, will ultimately present a shortlist of three candidates. The process is expected to take two or three months, allowing for approval from the BCE before the annual meeting in April. José Sevilla will continue in his role until then, and will receive €318,270 for his services this year.",
  "summary": "The bank has asked the headhunting firm to search the market for managers that match the requirements of the position of president. They will maintain the independent presidency, as so far with José Sevilla.",
  "key_points": [
    "Spencer Stuart hired to find Unicaja's next president.",
    "Fundación Unicaja ruled out its own representatives for the role.",
    "Search expected to conclude in two to three months."
