CaixaBank's CEO Gonzalo Gortázar
Barcelona, 18 December 2025
At today’s meeting, CaixaBank’s Board of Directors approved a new composition of the Management Committee, which is chaired by Gonzalo Gortázar, the bank’s Chief Executive Officer.
The Board has appointed Jordi Mondéjar, currently Head of Risk, as the new Head of Retail, Private and Business Banking, succeeding Jaume Masana.
The Sustainability area, which will now report to the Business Division, will also incorporate Social Action.
The current Risk Division will be divided into two areas: the Credit Risk Admission and Monitoring unit, which will be led by Manuel Galarza, previously Director of Compliance, Control and Public Affairs; and the Risk Management and Compliance unit, headed by Natividad Capella, who will join the Management Committee.
On the other hand, Jaume Masana will assume the position of General Manager at SegurCaixa Adeslas, replacing Javier Murillo. To ensure a well-managed transition, Javier Murillo will remain as General Manager of SegurCaixa Adeslas, supported by Jaume Masana as Deputy General Manager, until the handover, expected in the second quarter of 2026.
Mariona Vicens will continue leading Digital Transformation and Advanced Analytics, which will also incorporate the Payments & Consumer and Imagin areas. Jordi Nicolau and Anna Canela will remain as CEOs of CaixaBank Payments & Consumer and Imagin, respectively.
The Accounting, Management Control and Capital Department, led by Matthias Bulach, will also incorporate the Public Affairs area.
The above changes to the Management Committee are subject to the European Central Bank’s fit and proper assessment.
