Important Changes at Axa Insurance with New Leadership

The insurance company Axa continues to experience significant changes in its management structure. Daniel Bandle, CEO, welcomed Lorena Torres last week as the Chief Financial Officer, making her the first Mexican woman to hold this position in the company. Torres will be in charge of the financial supervision of the insurer. This week, Carlos Quezada, recognized in the business world for his work as a director at Stellantis, joins the team. Quezada joins Axa as Vice President of Production and Member of the Executive Committee, contributing his experience at a crucial time when movements in the automotive industry and companies affected by tariffs are expected.

In another area, the fintech company Alquimia Pay, led by Sergio Loredo, faced internal challenges last year, including an attack on its systems that affected investors and clients. Despite this, Loredo Foyo decided to offer solutions to those affected, which has been well received by many. The company has restructured its operations, renewed its human team, and brought in legal advisors to address the situation. Payment plans have been established to compensate for client losses, both individual and corporate.

In the governmental sphere, Pemex, led by Víctor Rodríguez and with the support of the Ministry of Finance under Edgar Amador, is slowly progressing in payments to suppliers. Despite efforts, external managers are offering to facilitate inclusion in the oil company's payment lists, in exchange for percentages that can reach up to 25%. The commitment is to cover 80% of the debts and recognize payments for unbilled work by the end of April.

The railway connectivity between the Suburban Train and the Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA) remains pending, five years after the announcement of its construction. Financial resources are lacking to complete the work, creating uncertainty about the start date of operations. Despite pressure to meet deadlines, experts doubt that the infrastructure will be ready by July of this year. Coordination between agencies and conducting prior tests are crucial to ensure the efficiency of this important mobility link in the Valley of Mexico.
