President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has appointed Henry Rhoel Aguda as the chief of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT).
The Presidential Communications Office (PCO) announced Aguda’s designation on Thursday night, two weeks after it confirmed Mr. Marcos’ acceptance of then-DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy’s resignation.
The PCO said Aguda’s experience “spans the banking, technology and telecommunications sectors.”
His LinkedIn profile lists his expertise in the fields of digital transformation, digital banking, financial crimes and data privacy.
Prior to his appointment as the new DICT secretary, Aguda was the president and chief executive officer of UnionDigital Bank, a position he left in August 2024.
