Since doing her training at Citibank in Miami, Ingrid Pahl Maya went on to representing the multinational in Central America, before making the move to Itaú Brazil being chosen as an emerging talent, one of only 2% of the Itaú workforce selected to be part of this prestigious program. She continued her development in Brazil and then took over as legal vice president and corporate secretary Itaú BBA in Colombia. In December 2017, Pahl was promoted to general manager given her excellent results, reliability, and management as head of the legal area during the negotiation of the purchase by Itaú Unibanco Holding of Corpbanca Chile and Colombia. She presided over the first year of financial growth for Itaú in the region after five years of consecutive loss and repeated it in their second year as management. One of the major achievements of her and her team was the creation and assembly of the legal area for Itaú BBA Colombia and for creation of Itaú BBA Colombia Finance Corporation and in her team’s representation of Itaú BBA offices; Itaú Unibanco and Itaú UK in Colombia. Ingrid says, ‘after this great challenge, we can say with great peace of mind and pride that through the different structures and development of “tailor-made” documentation for each client we have managed to keep Itaú BBA Colombia without a single loss in its balance sheet by default or any non payments from customers’.
