Julio M. Herrera Velutini currently serves as chairman of an international bank and has previously led several financial institutions in Venezuela. With more than a decade of experience in international banking, Julio Herrera Velutini continues his family’s contributions over the course of a century to Venezuela and the development of the country’s banking industry.
The Velutini family’s influence on Venezuelan history began in the late 19th century with the accomplishments of Jose Antonio Velutini. A prominent public figure, he served as a military officer before holding several government positions, including cabinet member and state governor. An experienced diplomat, he also served a term as vice president and later led the country as acting president. The family’s success in the banking sector began in the following generation. A lawyer and scholar of political science, Julio Cesar Velutini Couturier launched his career in Venezuelan banking in the early 20th century. Becoming the president of Banco Caracas at the age of 30, he consolidated the bank’s stock and managed the printing of legal tender until the Central Bank of Venezuela assumed currency responsibilities in 1934. The Velutini family maintained control of Banco Caracas for more than four decades until its acquisition by Banco Provinicial.

Serving as chairman of the board for a prominent international bank based in Puerto Rico, Julio M. Herrera Velutini carries on an extensive family history in the banking sector. For more than 120 years, Julio Herrera Velutini and his family have played a key role in the development of banking institutions in Venezuela.
His family’s involvement in the banking sector began with Julio Cesar Velutini Couturier. Born in 1880, he became a prominent lawyer and political science scholar before entering the banking industry. At only 30 years old, he assumed the role of president at Banco Caracas. He remained in this position for the rest of his life, making many improvements, such as the consolidation of the bank’s stock administration. Because Banco Caracas was established before the formation of Banco Central de Venezuela, he also oversaw the printing of Banco Caracas’ own currency. During the establishment of its banking legacy, the Velutini family also held key roles in the public sector. From the late 1800’s until the early 20th century, José Antonio Velutini held numerous government positions, including state governor, cabinet member, and diplomat. In addition to his time as a military officer, he also served as vice president and acting president of Venezuela. |
