MANILA, Philippines — One of the country’s busiest dealmakers appears to be sketching out the next chapter of succession at BDO Unibank Inc.’s investment banking arm.
In a disclosure, the Sy-led bank said Rodolfo Mariano Marquez-Lim “Dino” Siason would join as executive vice president and be seconded to BDO Capital & Investment Corp. starting July 27.
That seemingly routine appointment, however, came with a louder subtext in earlier disclosures: Siason has been identified as the successor to longtime BDO Capital president Eduardo Francisco—arguably one of the most recognizable names in Philippine investment banking.
Francisco himself confirmed the transition plans, although he clarified that retirement is not exactly on the table yet.
