Capital Group, a global active investment management firm, has announced the appointment of Guillermo Veiga as Chief Information Officer. He will join the firm in November to replace Marta Zarraga, who will retire at the end of the year. Veiga will relocate to California from Singapore, where he currently serves as Group Chief Information & Operating Officer at Standard Chartered Bank.
“Technology, data, and artificial intelligence play an increasingly important role in how we deliver investment excellence, serve our clients globally, and grow our business,” said Rob Klausner, Chief Operating Officer at Capital Group. “Guillermo brings an exceptional combination of deep technological expertise, operational leadership, and a track record in global transformation. His journey leading large, complex organizations makes him the ideal leader to drive Capital’s long-term strategy and position us for the opportunities ahead.”
Born in Uruguay and raised in Spain, Guillermo began his career as a hands-on technician and has held senior management positions in Europe and Asia at Amazon Web Services, Cisco, and Banco Santander, combining deep technical mastery with solid operational experience.
“I was drawn to Capital Group’s long-term commitment to its people and culture, as well as its client-focused mindset,” said Veiga, adding that “Capital Group is at the forefront of technology, and I am excited about the opportunity to help lead the company through a period of global expansion, at a time when data and artificial intelligence have an increasing capacity to transform how we work.”
