“These results were achieved within the context of an uncertain global economic backdrop and highlight the strength of our franchise,” First BanCorp CEO Aurelio Alemán said.
“Under [Discover Puerto Rico CEO Brad Dean’s] leadership, the promotion of the destination stimulated the demand for travel to Puerto Rico to levels unimaginable just a few years ago.
We will miss his knowledge and leadership, and we see his recruitment by the St. Louis [destination marketing organization (DMO)] as a recognition of his extraordinary work in Puerto Rico and the success achieved by our organization under his direction.”
