Plata, a financial technology holding operating Banco Plata in Mexico, has strengthened its corporate governance structure by appointing Michael S. Piwowar and John J. Sullivan as independent advisors to the board of its controlling company in the country. Piwowar, a former commissioner of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and Sullivan, a former Under Secretary of State in the United States, bring expertise in financial markets, securities regulation, international legal matters, and national security. This move supports Plata’s growth strategy in Latin America and institutional consolidation. According to Neri Tollardo, CEO of Banco Plata, their experience will be valuable for operations in Mexico and Colombia. Piwowar has dedicated his career to financial regulation and market strengthening, having previously worked as an economic advisor to the White House under both George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
