Ferdie Constantino ponders retirement, SMC and RSA
Constantino, or FKC as he is known in the business community, has been the San Miguel Group's CFO and treasurer since 2001 - serving for 24 long years.
Why did he retire now? The decision was guided by a sense of readiness.
"My successors are ready and very capable professionals," FKC told The STAR in an interview.
His retirement took effect last Feb. 1. He is succeeded by Wharton graduate and finance executive Bryan Villanueva as SMC's new CFO.
FKC, a graduate of the University of the Philippines School of Economics and a UP Alumni Association Distinguished Alumni Awardee, joined SMC in 1974 as an economist at SMC Corporate Planning.
SMC was then under the leadership of Andres Soriano Jr. who was diversifying the company's food business, building an ice cream plant and expanding into poultry production.
In 1982, SMC encountered its first major competitor with the entry of Lucio Tan-owned Asia Brewery.
