Real estate giant Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) announced the appointment of former AREIT President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jose Eduardo A. Quimpo II as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Treasurer, effective Tuesday, Aug. 19, 2025.
Quimpo succeeds 21-year ALI veteran Augusto D. Bengzon, who will remain part of the Ayala Land Group’s leadership team as a member of the Management Committee and a Director in its various subsidiaries, including our publicly listed AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) and Avaland Berhad in Malaysia.
“This transition reflects ALI’s deliberate succession strategy—strengthening its financial leadership bench, reinforcing market stability, and positioning the company to build on its growth momentum,” the firm said.
Quimpo brings extensive experience in corporate finance, capital markets, and risk management, having served in leadership roles across the Ayala Land Group and in the banking industry.
As chief executive of AREIT, where he stepped down last week, he led the company through a period of growth and diversification.
He has also held leadership posts within Ayala Land since May 2024, including as CFO of the Leasing & Hospitality Group, Chief Risk Officer, and Head of Corporate Finance, Strategy, and Investor Relations.
Before joining Ayala, Quimpo held senior positions in the banking industry. At BDO, including the President of BDO Securities, the Chief Operating Officer of BDO Capital, and the Senior Vice President of BDO Private Bank, and at BPI as the BPI Capital Director – Head of Execution. He holds a Management Engineering degree from the Ateneo de Manila University.
As CFO, Quimpo will lead Ayala Land’s financial strategy, capital markets activity, risk management, and investor engagement.
“He is expected to help drive the company’s disciplined financial execution and support sustainable growth across its diverse real estate portfolio. His appointment reflects Ayala Land’s continued focus on financial discipline, leadership development, and long-term value creation,” ALU said
Meanwhile, Bengzon’s eight-year tenure as CFO shaped ALI’s strong capital position, broadened and diversified its portfolio across multiple real estate asset classes, and established award-winning Investor Relations, Corporate Governance, and Corporate Treasury programs.
He is credited with multiple firsts in ALI’s history, such as the first corporate bond in the Philippines, the first real estate investment trust, and the first Sustainability-Linked Financing.
His leadership earned ALI multiple accolades for financial excellence and governance. He was recognized as Asia's Best CFO by Corporate Treasurer Awards and ING-Finex CFO of the Year both in 2019 and, more recently, he was named Best CFO for Southeast Asia by FinanceAsia.
