About

Juan Manuel Posada has 18 years’ in-house experience in Banco Nacional de Mexico (Citibank Mexico), generally regarded as the emblematic financial institution of the country and as being ‘at the forefront of banking legal practice in Mexico’. Having risen to general counsel of the Global Consumer banking division, his role includes ‘the countless challenges’ involved in consumer debt and credit products, wealth management, acquiring business, institutional relations and regulatory issues, among other matters. As head of consumer legal matters ‘he’s the architect who designs the contractual frameworks that facilitate the products and practices of consumer banking’, says one commentator, noting his responsibility for various products and practices of the key consumer-business lines. Posada directly manages a nine-lawyer team, and coordinates all consumer-related legal matters nationwide. ‘We don’t say “No”, we try to find the “how”, always protecting the franchise, the shareholders, and our biggest and most important asset, our consumers’, he comments. Regarded as ‘brilliant in terms of compliance matters and very good at institutional relations’, since 2010, he has also been a Citigroup managing director.
