Sheinbaum emphasized the competency and integrity of her financial team: “They are all very good, honest, and knowledgeable about public finances, closely aligned with our project. I’m very happy to be working with them.”
Martínez Dagnino was initially appointed as the head of SAT by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador on October 10, 2022, succeeding Raquel Buenrostro Sánchez, who moved to head the Ministry of Economy. Martínez Dagnino’s background includes a degree in Accounting and a Master’s in Finance from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Prior to his current position, he served as the head of the General Administration of Large Taxpayers within SAT. He also has extensive experience in the Mexican Financial System, particularly in financial derivative instruments analysis, supervision, regulation, and auditing.
The Federal Government detailed that Martínez Dagnino has also worked in the private sector, banking, and held a role as the deputy director of the Directorate General of Financial Groups and Intermediaries at the National Banking and Securities Commission (CNBV).
