Fallece banquero Alejandro E. Grullón E.

La Romana.- El Grupo Popular informa el sentido fallecimiento el día de hoy del fundador y primer presidente del Banco Popular Dominicano y del Grupo Popular, señor Alejandro E. Grullón E.

La causa del deceso, acaecido en la ciudad de La Romana, se estableció mediante el parte médico ofrecido por el doctor José López, quien diagnosticó paro cardio-respiratorio, luego que el destacado banquero y empresario venía presentando problemas de salud.
Por razones de la pandemia y para respetar los protocolos sanitarios de prevención, no se llevarán a cabo actos funerales convencionales, si no de forma privada y en total intimidad familiar.

El señor Alejandro E. Grullón E. nació en Santiago de los Caballeros, el 3 de abril de 1929. Fue hijo de los señores Manuel Grullón Rodríguez-Objío y Amantina Espaillat González, quienes además procrearon a los también fallecidos Arturo Grullón Espaillat y Máximo Grullón Espaillat.

Por parte de su madre, doña Amantina, el fallecido banquero es descendiente de Tomás Bobadilla y Briones e Ignacio María González, quienes dirigieron los destinos de la nación en un periodo del siglo XIX.

La línea de su padre, Manuel Grullón Rodríguez-Objío, está dignamente representada por Máximo Grullón Salcedo, Prócer de la Restauración; el destacado escritor Virgilio Díaz Grullón y Arturo Grullón Julia, el primer cirujano graduado dominicano en ejercer esta especialidad en el país y quien, además, se destacó por plasmar en el lienzo y en la fotografía los rostros humanos que estudiaba con carácter científico, llegando a realizar hermosas obras pictóricas.

Luego de cursar sus estudios de bachillerato en la Escuela Normal “Ulises Francisco Espaillat”, en Santiago de los Caballeros, don Alejandro asistió a Bucknell University, de Pensilvania, donde inició estudios de Medicina, pasando, más tarde, a la Universidad de Syracuse, en Nueva York, donde obtuvo el título de grado en Administración de Empresas y Ciencias Forestales.

A su regreso al país, trabajó inicialmente en aserraderos propiedad de sus familiares, formando parte, a inicios de los años 60, de la Asociación para el Desarrollo, Inc., organización que dio impulso a instituciones como la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra, el Banco Popular Dominicano, el Instituto Superior de Agricultura (ISA) y el Centro de Investigación y Mejoramiento de la Producción Animal (CIMPA), entre otros.

Desde su época de empresario en el área agrícola, don Alejandro notó la necesidad de contar con mejores servicios financieros para la sociedad dominicana y, en agosto de 1963, basándose en una inversión de capital y talento dominicanos, se obtuvo la autorización de la Junta Monetaria para la fundación del Banco Popular Dominicano, institución que abrió sus puertas el 2 de enero de 1964, siendo el primer banco de capital privado dominicano.

Bajo su dirección se crearon múltiples instituciones financieras que, más tarde, con la promulgación de la Ley Monetaria y Financiera de 2002, han vuelto a reunificarse bajo la figura de Banco Popular Dominicano, S. A. – Banco Múltiple, así como de Grupo Popular, S. A., para la casa matriz.

Asimismo, mediante sus contribuciones se crearon filiales internacionales como el BPD Bank, que operó hasta 2013 bajo la legislación norteamericana en Nueva York, reconocida por la Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), y el Popular Bank, que opera bajo las leyes de la República de Panamá.

Igualmente, realizó aportes a la institucionalización del sector financiero nacional a través de la fundación de la Asociación de Bancos Comerciales (ABA) y de destacadas instituciones de bienestar social como la Fundación Dominicana de Desarrollo (FDD), de fortalecimiento de la institucionalidad democrática como la Fundación Institucionalidad y Justicia (FINJUS) y de preservación y proyección cultural como el Museo de La Altagracia.

En la actualidad, presidía la Fundación Popular, Inc. En 2014 los Consejos de Administración y las Asambleas de Accionistas le designaron como Presidente Ad Vitam y Consejero Emérito de Grupo Popular y de Banco Popular. Fue además Gobernador de la Comisión de Seguimiento a los Trabajos de Remozamiento y Mantenimiento de la Basílica Catedral Nuestra Señora de La Altagracia y Presidente del Plan Sierra. Adicionalmente, fue miembro de la Fundación Patronato Cueva de las Maravillas, de la Fundación Sur Futuro y del Consejo Consultivo Presidencial.

Fruto de su matrimonio con la señora Dinorah Viñas Messina (fallecida), procreó a Manuel Alejandro, Virginia María y Eduardo José Grullón Viñas; y, junto a su actual esposa, Melba Segura Castillo, a Alexandra María Grullón Segura.

Por sus valiosas contribuciones a nuestra sociedad fue reconocido con el grado de Comendador por la “Orden de Duarte, Sánchez y Mella”, con el grado Gran Cruz Placa de Plata por la “Orden Heráldica de Cristóbal Colón”, ambas emanadas de la Presidencia de la República.

Adicionalmente, recibió la “Orden de San Gregorio Magno”, en el grado de Caballero de Gran Cruz, otorgada por Su Santidad Juan Pablo II; un Doctorado Honoris Causa en Humanidades, por la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra, en 1997; y un Doctorado Honoris Causa en Ciencias de la Administración, por la Universidad Central del Este, en 2008.
El 20 de agosto de 2008 recibió, además, el reconocimiento a su exitosa y fructífera carrera empresarial por la Cámara de Diputados de la República Dominicana, mientras que en 2011 el Senado de la República también le distinguió por sus aportes al país a través de su labor empresarial y social.

En mayo de 2015, durante el lanzamiento de la Cátedra de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial y Sostenibilidad “Alejandro E. Grullón E.”, la Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM) homenajeó a don Alejandro por su entrega a la creación y consolidación de una empresa que ha sido el motor de grandes beneficios para el país, así como por su rol de ciudadano ejemplar, impulsor de obras filantrópicas y de bienestar social, y por su modelo de compromiso ético.

Finalmente, en junio de 2016, en el marco del Día Nacional de la Empresa Privada y el Empresariado Nacional, el Consejo Nacional de la Empresa Privada (CONEP) reconoció la trayectoria empresarial y la visión que tuvo don Alejandro, al fundar el primer banco comercial nacional de capital privado del país, el Banco Popular Dominicano, destacando su determinación y liderazgo visionario, señas que lo convirtieron en ejemplo e inspiración para todas las generaciones de empresarios y emprendedores.

    before writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.

    suggestions or hints? Kudos!
