Key people

Glen R. Wakeman has been president, chief executive officer and Board of Directors member of the corporation since May 2006. Wakeman has been steadfast in successfully resolving several compliance and governance issues at the financial institution, including an SEC claim, an FDIC Cease and Desist Order, and a class-action lawsuit as a result of the company’s share-price collapse.

In July 2007, at the brink of bankruptcy, Wakeman led Doral’s successful recapitalization, helping the company avoid bankruptcy and saving thousands of jobs. Doral’s recapitalization is the first U.S. bank to be recapitalized through the use of private-equity funding.[2]
