UNIONBANK of the Philippines Chairman Erramon I. Aboitiz has been named chairman of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Board of Trustees, the Aboitiz Group said in a statement.
Mr. Aboitiz, whose term as AIM’s seventh chairman commenced on Sept. 1, succeeded Peter Garrucho, Jr., who was chairman beginning in 2017.
Mr. Aboitiz served as the president & CEO of Aboitiz Equity Ventures between 2009 and 2019, and was CEO of Aboitiz Power Corp. in 2018.
