Álvaro Vértiz has been promoted to Head for Latin America and the Caribbean by DGA Group, the global advisory firm founded by Albright Stonebridge Group.
The firm announced in a statement that it “has expanded the roles of several executives on its Americas team, thereby strengthening its ability to help clients navigate complex policy, reputation, and financial issues on a global scale.”
Along with Vértiz, Adam Cubbage, currently New York Director, was promoted and appointed Director of DGA Americas; and Ryan Toohey, Head of the CCA practice in the U.S., will join the DGA Group Executive Committee.
“I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Head for Latin America and the Caribbean at DGA Group!” Vértiz wrote on his personal LinkedIn profile.
“Adam, Ryan, and Álvaro exemplify the caliber of collaborative leadership that defines DGA,” said Edward Reilly, CEO of DGA Group. “After leading the development of DGA’s multidisciplinary offerings in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, and Mexico City, we are pleased that they are now taking on expanded roles, working with DGA leadership across the Americas to continue providing the best advisory services to our clients,” he added.
Vértiz joined DGA in 2023 as Partner and Country Head for Mexico. Previously, he worked for nearly seven years at BlackRock, where he built his career: he joined as Director and Head of Legal & Compliance for Mexico, and after four years, he was promoted to Chief Operating Officer. Three years later, he became Head of Digital, Board Member, and Head of Business Strategy and Strategic Partnerships at the firm.
Before that, he held positions at Prudential Real Estate Investors, GE Capital Americas, Citi, and PWC.
