GLOBE Telecom, Inc. on Monday announced the appointment of Juan Carlo Puno as its new chief financial officer (CFO), treasurer, and chief risk officer (CRO) effective next month. In a disclosure, the telco said Puno would be taking over from Rosemarie "Rizza" Maniego-Eala, who is retiring to pursue other personal and professional goals after 27 years of service at Globe. Puno, 39, is currently serving as Globe's corporate strategy officer and senior vice president for corporate finance. He will start his new role as CFO on Oct. 16, 2024. "His 15 years in Globe and his previous roles have built him up to be one of Globe's well-lauded leaders, as well as an expert in the fields of corporate strategy, finance and accounting, and investor communications," the telco said. It added that Puno played a crucial role in "most of Globe's transformational and significant mergers and acquisitions as well as fundraising efforts." Group-wide, Puno also serves as CFO and treasurer of Globe's investment company 917Ventures, as well as holding the chairmanship at ECPay. "Through these transactions, initiatives and key roles, Mr. Puno has brought significant value and external recognition to himself and Globe, further cementing his position as one of Globe's key executives." Puno holds a bachelor's degree in management engineering from Ateneo de Manila University and has been a chartered financial analyst (CFA) since 2018. He has also completed the Executive Development Program at Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Globe thanked Maniego-Eala for her trailblazing achievements for the company. "We take this opportunity to thank Ms. Maniego-Eala not only for her invaluable contributions but also the leadership values she instilled not only within her team but across the organization," it said. Maniego-Eala also previously served as president and senior vice president at G-Xchange, Inc. or GCash. Globe shares were unchanged on Monday at P2,210 each amid a 1.16-percent rise for the benchmark Philippine Stock Exchange index.
