HOUSTON, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- BBVA Compass has appointed Hector Chacon as its new Global Wealth Executive, promoting a long-time employee who has held multiple positions prior to his new role.
In his new role, Chacon will lead all Global Wealth efforts across the BBVA Compass footprint, which spans seven states.

He has held multiple roles with the bank, his most recent being the executive director of Auto Finance and Dealer Services.
"Our Global Wealth operations are a key component to BBVA Compass's bottom line, growth and customer experience," said BBVA Compass Chief Operating Officer Rafael Bustillo.

Chacon joined Bancomer, BBVA's market leading subsidiary in Mexico, in 1987, and its U.S. operations in 1997. Before his stint as head of auto financing, he was the bank's Texas Border CEO, a role that oversaw bank operations from El Paso to Brownsville, Texas. During that same time, he also managed retail for the bank's South Texas markets.
Chacon also previously worked for BBVA subsidiaries in Mexico City, Miami and Houston. He graduated from the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico (ITAM) and holds a master's from the Instituto Panamericano de Alta Direccion de Empresas (IPADE) in Mexico City.
The bank's Global Wealth team boasts a suite of top level products and services tailored to help clients manage their assets, estate, and personal finances, among other areas. The team also provides market insights to help clients make sound investments and fully-informed financial decisions.
