Mr. Barreiro leaves the CIB division as a business unit that employs more than 4,000 people and that generated net income of €1.12 billion in 2011. The unit is a significant contributor to the Group’s development in its role as a strategic supplier of products for other networks.

He also pointed to Juan AsUa’s vision and performance during the last five years as head of the Spanish business. Mr. AsUa is replacing Mr. Barreiro as CIB head.
Mr. Cano highlighted the importance of Mr. AsUa’s management in Spain during the most important moments of the crisis. He said, “Both Juan AsUa and Jaime Saenz de Tejada did an excellent job at a very critical time. Having both on the management committee will guarantee the quality and continuity of the management model."
Juan AsUa (49) has been head of Spain & Portugal for the last five years. Prior to that, he was head of global corporate banking and capital markets. Earlier still he was in charge of corporate & business banking and a member of the management committee since 2006. He takes over as head of Corporate & Investment Banking.
