2021 Apogee Awards Honoree: Abel L. Iglesias

“As the 17-year-old son of immigrant parents that I was when I landed my first banking job, I never imagined I’d become the banking executive I am today. I am so grateful to my parents which taught me to work hard, get educated and do right by others. And, so very thankful to the industry that welcomed me and gave me the opportunity. To those that mentored and coached me along the way. And finally, the South Florida business community and its many successful leaders that paved the way and set the example.”
