- The company strengthens its commitment to equality with the addition of more women into management
Madrid - 18 February 2021
Cecabank, a Spanish bank offering specialised services in Securities Services, Treasury Management, Payments and Digital Solutions, has brought on Raquel Cabeza as the new Corporate Director of Risks and Compliance and as a member of the Steering Committee, the second woman to sit on this body.
The arrival of the Director and her nearly fifteen years of experience in the financial field will strengthen Cecabank's commitment to excellence in risk control by integrating all functions relating to financial and non-financial risk control and regulatory compliance into a single area.
In Raquel Cabeza's words, "I am joining an entity that, thanks to its ability to change, its solid governance and its high solvency ratio, has been a leading depositary since its creation in 2012. Its high degree of specialisation and adaptation to customer demands, as well as the strengthening of its robust control model in an increasingly complex context, will be key to its continued growth in the coming years".
Having just left her position as Director in the Regulation and Risk Division of the consultancy PwC Spain, Cabeza previously dedicated six years to the Ministry of Economy and Business as Deputy Director General for Inspection and Control of Capital Movements in the General Secretariat of the Treasury and Financing. In this role, she galvanised Spanish regulations on the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism, heading up of the Secretariat of the Commission for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Monetary Offences. She has also served as co-Chairwoman of the Regulation Group of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
