Globe Telecom announced Monday it appointed a new chief financial officer (CFO) to replace its previous executive who retired to pursue other personal and professional goals.
The telecom arm of the Ayala Group said it appointed Juan Carlo Puno as its new CFO, treasurer and chief risk officer (CRO) effective Oct. 16, 2024.
Puno is Globe’s current corporate strategy officer and senior vice-president for corporate finance.
His 15 years in Globe and previous roles 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 company said.
Puno led and executed several corporate initiatives including the 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 acquisitions transactions as well as fund-raising efforts.
Puno also provides advisory support to the wider group, acting as the CFO and treasurer of 917Ventures and holds chairmanship position 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 Rosemarie Maniego-Eala who is retiring to pursue other personal and professional goals. In her nearly 27 years of dedicated service to Globe, Maniego-Eala has been a driving force behind Glob’s success, guiding Globe through some of its most challenging periods and delivering trailblazing achievements that have shaped our organization’s future.
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.
She received the Asia’s Best CFO Award from Corporate Governance Asia’s 10th Asian Excellence Awards in 2020 and in 2023, she was given the Best CFO (Bronze) Award from FinanceAsia’s Asia’s Best Companies.
