He replaces 62-year-old finance veteran Augusto Bengzon, whose eight-year run fortified Ayala Land’s balance sheet, expanded its capital market tools, and raised its standing with investors.
Finance, leadership background
Quimpo assumes the role effective August 19, bringing decades of experience in capital markets, risk management, and strategic finance across both real estate and banking.
He most recently served as president and CEO of AREIT, the real estate investment trust subsidiary of Ayala Land, where he led a phase of growth and portfolio diversification.
Within Ayala Land, he also held roles as CFO of the Leasing and Hospitality Group, chief risk officer, and head of corporate finance, strategy, and investor relations.
Before joining Ayala, he held senior posts at BDO and BPI, including president of BDO Securities and COO of BDO Capital.

Bengzon to stay on in leadership team
As CFO, Quimpo will oversee financial strategy, capital markets activity, risk controls, and investor engagement. He is expected to steer funding execution while supporting Ayala Land’s long-term growth.
Bengzon, a 21-year Ayala Land veteran, previously led the launch of the country’s first corporate bond, REIT, and sustainability-linked financing.
He also built ALI’s award-winning investor relations and treasury programs, earning recognition including Best CFO for Southeast Asia from FinanceAsia.
Bengzon will remain part of ALI’s leadership team as a member of the Management Committee and director of subsidiaries including AyalaLand Logistics Holdings Corp. (ALLHC) and Avaland Berhad in Malaysia.
