ALI yesterday announced the retirement of senior vice president Augusto Bengzon, who is also a member of the management committee, after 20 years of serving the company.

Bengzon joined ALI in December 2004, and has since held several roles, including chief finance officer until August 2025.

Under Bengzon's leadership, ALI developed its capital position by diversifying the asset classes in its portfolio. He also led ALI through the pandemic, the most difficult period for the property sector in recent history when demand for real estate dried up.
