Eduardo Ebensperger will leave his role as general manager of Banco de Chile in April 2027, being replaced by Hernán Arellano, 49. This change, along with recent executive appointments at Quiñenco and CCU, solidifies a generational shift within the Luksic group, placing executives under 50 years old in key leadership positions. The transition reflects a broader strategic renewal across the conglomerate's top management.
