About

General manager for legal services and compliance at BBVA Banco Continental Enriqueta González Pinedo has had a varied career that has included public and private positions. The consistent theme throughout her career has been success, and she has managed to achieve this during her time with both the Superintendencia de Banca y Seguros (SBS) (a state agency which played a major role in Peru’s response to the Latin American financial crisis of 1998) and BBVA Continental, whom she joined in 2000. While it is difficult for González to pick out particular career highlights, she mentions her ‘participation in drafting the Bank Act’ as among these. She also describes her role at SBS in general as having ‘made her an expert in banking regulation’, and contributed to her success significantly. Alongside this, González considers that ‘one cannot talk enough about good corporate governance’, and is proud of her record as ‘a promoter and manager in this area since 2002’, when the company approved its “code of good corporate governance”, which is still in place and constantly being improved upon. In terms of major projects, she also has an impressive record, and details just some of her career statistics: ‘In May 2017, after almost ten years of litigation, a lawsuit filed against the bank by COVISE seeking approximately S/286m was won by us, returning a reduced amount of S/80m. As well as this, over the course of this entire year, we have issued S/708m soles in domestic currency corporate, BAF, for placement on local and international financial markets’.
