More About Diesco:
Based in the Dominican Republic, Diesco is one of the largest diversified group of companies in the Caribbean Basin, with $130 million in revenues. The company was founded in 1957 by Manuel Diez Mendez. Manuel Vicente Diez Cabral is the second-generation sole owner of the business and serves as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Diesco Ltd.’s Advisory Board.
The company’s advisory board was formed four years ago to help guide the company’s spectacular growth. “The company got too big too soon,” Diez said. “We were under-delivering and underperforming, and needed external help to take us to the next level.”
Among the company’s governance highlights are a majority independent board members, a strategic focus that helped the business grow 150% in four years and a professionalism that attracted Goldman Sachs’ first ever investment in the Caribbean Basin.
“Our board gave us guidance on how to upgrade and invest in HR to run a more complex and larger organization, and they also provide accountability to me and the management team,” Diez said.
