José Sevilla, chairman of Unicaja, has announced his decision to stand down at the end of his term without seeking re-election, which is scheduled for next April. His departure, which will be formalised at the ordinary general meeting of shareholders, opens a new chapter in the leadership of the Málaga-based listed bank.
Sevilla took over the chairmanship on 5 April 2024 with a clear mandate: to restore calm within the institution and put behind it the turbulent governance crisis triggered by the merger with Liberbank. After two years focused on institutional stability, the executive has informed the bank’s highest governing body that he will complete his current term without aspiring to renewal.
