Leadership
Who you will be working with.
Francisco Leiva
Francisco Leiva is a retired United States government professional whose career was shaped within the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Bureau’s principles — integrity, professionalism and honesty — became the cornerstone of his conduct, and the disciplined operational mindset it gave him continues to define how he works.
With extensive experience across Latin America and a well-established presence in El Salvador, he has cultivated a broad network across the country’s public and private sectors. His reading of the national landscape, from institutional frameworks to commercial corridors, lets him move through it with clarity, discretion and cultural sensitivity, connecting international standards to local realities.
As Chief Executive Officer he brings that federal background and regional expertise to strategic advisory, market-entry support and high-level corporate facilitation, grounded in transparency and long-term partnership.
