Overview
- Fabián Kon will relinquish his role as Banco Galicia CEO after a decade on September 1 to focus solely on leading the Grupo Galicia holding company.
- Diego Rivas, a 30-year Banco Galicia veteran who has held roles as CFO, CRO and head of business lines, is set to become bank CEO pending BCRA approval.
- The leadership overhaul follows Grupo Galicia’s mid-2025 acquisition of HSBC Argentina and aims to unify strategy across banking, insurance, digital finance and asset management units.
- The reorganization is intended to harness the group’s enlarged scale, under which Banco Galicia now stands as Argentina’s largest private bank and Naranja X as its biggest digital lender.
- Kon emphasized that the split will enhance strategic agility and drive long-term synergies across all of Grupo Galicia’s businesses.
