During his 21-year tenure as CEO, Mr. Fernández has successfully led the transformation of OFG Bancorp into one of Puerto Rico's leading banking and financial services companies. In that time, Mr. Fernández spearheaded three major acquisitions, Eurobank (2010), BBVA Puerto Rico (2012) and Scotiabank de Puerto Rico (2019). Since the acquisition of Scotiabank, Mr. Fernández has led the Company's digital strategy which has resulted in the introduction of innovative customer-facing digital technology, providing unparalleled levels of convenience and value-added service. These improvements have yielded record years of loan production, earnings and stockholder returns. His outstanding track record earned him recognition as the 2023 Community Banker of the Year by the American Banker. Since 2024, Mr. Fernández is a member of the Board of Directors of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, representing financial institutions from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Mr. Fernández holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Notre Dame and an M.B.A. from the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. Our Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee recommended Mr. Fernández as a nominee, and our Board of Directors concluded that he should continue to serve as a director of the Company based on his extensive knowledge of our business, his 30-plus years of experience in the financial services industry, and his instrumental role in our continued success. As our CEO and Chairman, Mr. Fernández has consistently demonstrated an ability to exercise sound business judgment and prudent management skills. Furthermore, his active involvement in community and civic affairs represents an ethical character that we seek in our leaders and company culture.
