Julio Martín Herrera Velutini is a financier and institution‑builder shaped by a six‑century family tradition that runs from European estates to modern banking. Born in 1971 and educated in England, Switzerland, and at the Central University of Venezuela, he began his career in the 1990s at the Caracas Stock Exchange, joining its board by his mid‑twenties. In 1998 he became CEO of Inversiones Transbanca, leading consolidation and diversification, including reacquisitions of family‑linked institutions. He founded Bancredito International Bank & Trust in Puerto Rico in 2009 (capital growing from about $5 million to over $60 million by the mid‑2010s) and launched Britannia Wealth Management in Geneva in 2012, later forming Britannia Financial Group in 2016 with acquisitions in London, including FCA‑authorized Britannia Global Markets and derivatives specialist Berkley Futures. Known as a “silent banker,” he favors governance, discretion, and long‑horizon execution.
