Redação

Executive Cristina Betts takes on the role of President of Iguatemi S.A., having been elected the first woman to serve as President of the Group. This move continues the succession plan that is part of the corporate governance evolution process of the Brazilian holding company Jereissati Participações S.A., owner of several high-end commercial developments in the Southeast and Midwest regions.

“(…) Para mim, era muito importante ter certeza de que eu fazia bem o que tinha que fazer e que tinha minha própria voz. Tive muita sorte de sempre ter líderes fantásticos que me deram espaço para trabalhar", afirmou Cristina em entrevista ao jornal WWD.

Cristina, who had served as co-CEO since October of last year, succeeds Carlos Jereissati Filho, who remains on the Board of Directors. She has been with the company since 2008, and over the past 13 years has served as CFO, being responsible for finance and investor relations. Having worked in these areas, she is currently also a member of the Board of Directors of B3 S.A., the Finance Committee of Votorantim Cimentos, and the Audit Committee of Rumo S.A.

Empowered Women: Cristina Betts as the first female CEO of Grupo Iguatemi

“(…) O Iguatemi sempre foi um ambiente heterogêneo onde sempre existiu muita diversidade. Quando entrei, há 14 anos, metade do nosso comitê executivo era composto por mulheres. Hoje ainda é metade, mas se você olhar para a alta liderança, dos diretores para cima, 46% dos nossos executivos são mulheres. Já é muito amigável em questões de gênero e outras diversidades", mencionou em entrevista.

And to celebrate this new phase, Carlos Jereissati and Georgina Brandolini D’Adda hosted guests for dinner at Le Voltaire in Paris on the evening of Tuesday, January 24, during haute couture fashion week. The gathering brought together designers, executives, and members of the international fashion press to introduce Cristina Betts as the new CEO of Iguatemi S.A., who assumed the presidency at the beginning of 2022.
