UNION Bank of the Philippines, Inc. (UnionBank) President and Chief Executive Officer Ana Maria Aboitiz Delgado has been included in Forbes Asia’s 2026 Power Businesswomen list, which recognizes 20 female business leaders across the region.
“The 2026 Forbes Asia’s Power Businesswomen list spotlights a new roster of 20 trailblazing entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and next-generation family leaders,” Forbes Asia Editorial Director Rana Wehbe Watson said in a statement.
“They are actively transforming the region’s economy—from supplying critical hardware behind the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure boom to modernizing sectors like retail and finance,” she added.
Ms. Delgado assumed the bank’s top post in January 2025, succeeding Edwin R. Bautista following the completion of the migration of Citibank’s Philippine consumer banking accounts to UnionBank’s systems in March 2024.
She joined UnionBank in 2003 and has held leadership positions in institutional banking, consumer finance, small and medium enterprise lending, customer experience, and digital banking.
The Philippines had two representatives on the 2025 list: Ayala Corp. Managing Director Mariana Zobel de Ayala and Robinsons Land Corp. President and CEO Mybelle V. Aragon-Gobio. — Alexandria Grace C. Magno
