"García also acknowledged and thanked the work of Fernando L. Batlle, who for more than two years was his right hand man as GDB Executive Vice President for Finance and Treasury. “What we have accomplished in a little more than two years would not have been possible had it not been for Fernando Batlle. He is the consummate banker, and had it not been for the fact that to a great extent we were able to delegate in him, in absolute confidence, the day-to-day management of the Bank, we would not have been able to attend to so many other matters,” García stated." |
