“Mr. Crisol will be remembered not only for his exceptional leadership and unwavering dedication, but also for exemplifying the GT Capital values of integrity and excellence throughout his years of service,” GT Capital said in a regulatory filing on Thursday.
“GT Capital extends its deepest sympathies to Mr. Crisol’s family and loved ones,” it added.
Award-winning executive
Crisol was also an award-winning executive, previously earning Corporate Governance Asia’s Best Investor Relations Professional honor. GT Capital was also recognized as Best Investor Relations Company.
Beyond GT Capital, he served as a director and audit committee chair of Toyota Sta. Rosa Inc.

Earlier in his career, he led the Department of Trade and Industry’s Trade and Industry Information Center and concurrently headed its Office of Operational Planning. He also held positions at The Philippine American Life Insurance Company and Merrill Lynch Philippines Inc.
A trained economist, Crisol earned a master’s degree in business economics from the University of Asia and the Pacific and a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of the Philippines Diliman. He completed his primary and secondary education at Ateneo de Manila University.
