The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) has named executive vice president and Consumer Banking head Maria Cristina “Ginbee” L. Go as the successor to president and chief executive officer Jose Teodoro “TG” K. Limcaoco, with the transition scheduled for 26 April 2027.
In an announcement Thursday morning, BPI said its board approved the succession plan, which will take effect after the bank’s annual stockholders’ meeting, subject to necessary regulatory approval.
BPI veteran
Go, a 23-year BPI veteran, currently leads the bank’s consumer banking business. She previously served as president of BPI Family Savings Bank, where she led the institution’s transformation and integration into BPI. Upon her appointment, Go will become the bank’s first female chief executive in its 175-year history.
BPI chairman Jaime Augusto Zobel de Ayala said the leadership change reflects the bank’s succession planning and its preparations for the next phase of growth.
“TG has brought BPI to tremendous new heights as CEO over the past five years, and we are grateful for the strong platform that we will now be building upon. Under his leadership, BPI saw a period of significant transformation across digital, financial inclusivity, and sustainability.”
“Likewise, I am excited for the new prospects ahead under Ginbee’s stewardship. Amidst some volatility in the global and domestic environment, there are notable opportunities, particularly as the Filipino consumer sector grows, becomes more sophisticated, and seeks a trusted partner in achieving financial stability and success,” he said.
