age, she immersed herself in the operations of the family's flagship department store, where
she learned the values of diligence and entrepreneurial spirit that define her family.

business ventures, characterized by unwavering ethics and a commitment to hard work.

generations. With operations spanning 27 countries across diverse industries including
retailing, electronics, finance, real estate, and textiles, and more than 28,700 employees, the
SIMAN family remains at the forefront of innovation and excellence.
Having worked at the company's New York o[ice and headquarters in El Salvador, Rocio brings
