He began his career in 1972 at Bank of America, Mexico Rep. Office, where he was responsible for the Correspondence and Private Banking Sections. After four years tenure he was recognized for his good work and offered to relocate to the United States to continue his career.

Upon arriving in the USA in 1976 he worked for Bank of America, LA International Banking Office -Western Hemisphere Section servicing major Corporate Clients in their international trade finance needs; i.e.: PEMEX $12 billion syndication loan, where Bank of America was the Agent with 120 Bank Participants.

In 1977 he was transferred to the LA Corporate Office, Manufacturing Section where as a VP he serviced the credit and overall financial needs of some of America’s largest and most prestigious Institutions. His bookings at the time consisted in twenty companies with loans of approximately $1.2 billion.

In 1980 was named Assistant Manager of the LA-IBO with 1200 people under his wing, servicing 400 Southern California branches with their international trade finance needs and loan syndications to include the coordination, administration and documentation of credit extensions and commitments.

After completing the above assignment, Alonso was promoted in 1982 to VP / Managing Director for Bank of America’s three International Private Banking offices in California, plus the ones in Texas and Miami, with a total marketing and support staff of 90 people. Under his leadership, this team effectively serviced international Private Banking customers with deposit portfolios of $1B and loan portfolios of $180M.

An exciting opportunity presented itself in 1986 and Mr. Perezmartinez resigned his position at Bank of America in order to join Republic International Bank of New York (CA) as President. His primary responsibility at RIBNY was to assure the bank’s profitability, with an emphasis on increasing deposits. During his eight year tenure in that position, he increased customer deposits from $20M to $675M and retained earnings from $2M to $16M, with the bank consistently receiving top audit ratings.

Achieving what he had set out to accomplish, Alonso left the bank in 1994 and served for two years as EVP Latin America for Trust Company of the West (an asset management company), before joining AMVESCAP Group Services, Inc. as President/CEO and Global Partner of INVESCO LATAM, a position he held until mid-2004. Under his watch, he established and managed the operating offices of Argentina and Brazil, as well as established a marketing presence in Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Venezuela, where with his team brought in $900MM under his management making INVESCO one of the leading asset managers in Latin America.

Capitalizing on his vast amount of experience, Mr. Perezmartinez launched Alonso Perezmartinez & Associates his own consulting firm in 2005, building relationships with corporate clients and UHNW individuals throughout the Americas. As President, he concentrated in analyzing financial activities and business processes, primarily for oil and gas, real estate and private equity-related businesses, devising strategies to optimize profitability.

In December 2010 he joined Lloyds TSB Bank plc office in Miami as a Senior Director for Latin America. While at Lloyds he marketed investment products to UHNW individuals throughout Latin America. He succeeded in obtained a mandate for the acquisition of a major mining operation in South America, as well as a mandate from one of Mexico's prime companies to service their Treasury/Corporate needs in Europe. Unfortunately, soon after his joining Lloyds TSB Bank plc underwent a major restructuring causing it to downsize its UK operations by 45,000 employees and close more than fifty percent of its international operation, therefore causing a mass exodus of its global marketing sales force. In the case of the Miami Office the operation saw its third massive exodus in five years leaving it with only five marketing officers. With this scenario he resigned to his position last October 2011 with only nine months of having worked at Lloyds.

In view of the above in 2012 he joined C&C studies & projects a family based company as Senior Executive Director for Latin America, where he extends edification, supervisory and consultant services in construction related companies, as well as represent foreign companies in Mexico in oil and gas, mining, construction and real estate related businesses.

Mr. Perezmartinez is now eager for a new challenge and is targeting a Board of Director, a President, CEO and/or a Senior Executive Managing Director position. He is open as to industry and geographical location due to his overall background and is eager to utilize his vast financial and marketing experience, multi-lingual capabilities, as well as his UHNW individual and Institutional contacts throughout the Americas. His experience is supported by a BS in Economics from the University of the Americas in Mexico City and an in-house Bank of America, MBA sponsored Training Program.
