Yale School of Management - Alumni Leaders

"Yale SOM has been a clear turning point in my professional life. My five-year government experience in Mexico, previous to Yale, gave me first-hand knowledge of the numerous social and political constraints to economic policy. But Yale SOM gave me the tools and opened the doors to build a career in finance, which in turn, has allowed me to directly participate in the recent transformation of Mexico and other Latin American countries."

Since graduating from the Yale School of Management with a master's degree in public and private management (MPPM) in 1991, Tito has spent more than eighteen years in banking, working two years for Credit Suisse, twelve years for Morgan Stanley, and, since 2006, working for Deutsche Bank as its Mexico Chief Country Officer. Tito is chairman and CEO of Deutsche Bank’s local bank and broker dealer in Mexico which together have more than 100 employees and operations in local fixed income and equities, investment banking, cash management, custody, trust services, and private banking.

During his career in banking, Tito has been involved in numerous financial transactions in Latin America, including local and cross-border mergers and acquisitions, debt issues, equity offerings, structured finance deals, and derivatives. His business relationships include the region's sovereign entities and major private sector companies, as well as multinational corporations with interests in Latin America. Tito's professional experience in Mexico and Latin America, has allowed him to become an active participant in the region's financial markets during particularly interesting times. He has developed first-hand experience in very diverse situations such as the re-opening of the sovereign debt markets after the debt crisis of the 80's, the wave of privatizations of the early and mid-90's, the impact of the Tequila, Asian, and Russian crises in the region, the most recent wave of defaults and debt restructurings affecting both sovereign and private sector entities, and the creation of local debt markets in the most advanced countries of the region.

Just before earning his MPPM degree, Tito graduated from Yale's MA program in international and development economics at the Economic Growth Center. Before Yale, Tito spent five years working for Mexico's Federal Government, including three years in the financial planning area of the Ministry of Finance. Tito received his BA in economics from Universidad de las Américas in Puebla, Mexico, in 1981.

Tito is a member of the Yale School of Management Board of Advisors and of the Board of Trustees for the American School Foundation in Mexico City.
