Globe Telecom announced on Monday the appointment of a new chief financial officer replacing the executive who recently retired to pursue other personal and professional goals.
The Ayala-led telco has appointed Juan Carlo C. Puno as CFO, treasurer, and chief risk officer beginning 16 October 2024.
Puno is currently corporate strategy officer and senior vice-president for corporate finance.
His 15 years in Globe and his previous roles have built him up as one of Globe’s well-lauded leaders, as well as an expert in the
fields of corporate strategy, finance and accounting, and investor communications.
Puno has led and executed several corporate initiatives, including recent monetization efforts that strengthened Globe’s overall financial health.
He also played a crucial role in most of Globe’s transformational and significant mergers and acquisition transactions as well as fund-raising efforts.
Puno also provides advisory support to the wider group, acting as CFO and treasurer of 917Ventures, as well as chairman in ECPay, among other directorship posts.
He has a degree in BS Management Engineering from the Ateneo de Manila University and has been a CFA charterholder since 2018.
As a graduate of its Executive Development Program, Puno is also an alumnus of Kellogg School of Management in Northwestern University.
Puno will succeed the incumbent, Rosemarie Maniego-Eala, who will be retiring to pursue other personal and professional goals.
In her nearly 27 years of dedicated service, Maniego-Eala has been a driving force behind Globe’s success, guiding the company through some of its most challenging periods and delivering trailblazing achievements that helped shape the organization’s future.
Throughout her stellar career, Maniego-Eala has garnered multiple awards from regional award-giving bodies. In 2019, she won both the Best CFO Award from the Institutional Investor’s All-Asia Executive Team ASEAN Most Honored Companies, and the Best CFO for Investor Relations Award from the 9th Asian Excellence Recognition Awards.
In 2020, she received the Asia’s Best CFO Award from Corporate Governance Asia’s 10th Asian Excellence Awards and in 2023, she was given the Best CFO (Bronze) Award from FinanceAsia’s Asia’s Best Companies. Ms. Maniego-Eala also completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School in 2023.
“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,” Globe said.
