IN SHORT

Ernesto Torres Cantú has scaled the heights of Mexico’s financial sector to become CEO of Grupo Financiero Citibanamex. The man behind the job title inspires in more ways than one. When he lost his mother at a young age, Ernesto watched and learned from his father’s example of clear-minded dedication. One of the greatest things Ernesto has learned: we may not be able to control our circumstances however we can control our actions and the life direction we choose to take. “It’s easy to blame others for your circumstances, but only you are in control of your life.”
