Sergio Enríquez

Biography Henríquez studied business administration (ingeniería comercial) at the University of Chile and later completed executive education courses at the Adolfo Ibáñez University.

For many years he worked in the private sector, specializing in project development and the capital market. He also taught at the University of Chile, the University of Santiago, Chile, the Diego Portales University, and the Chilean Naval Engineering School. Hermosilla had resigned after publicly acknowledging that he had accepted a horse as a gift from Francisco Pérez Yoma, owner of Copeva, during the controversy surrounding the company's housing developments.

Henríquez's appointment was widely attributed to his close relationship with Francisco Frei and Gutenberg Martínez, connections that had also reportedly influenced his earlier appointment at Esval. Under President Michelle Bachelet, he was appointed chairman of the Chilean Postal Service.

Because of his close relationship with Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, Henríquez was regarded as one of Frei's principal advisers during the 2009 Chilean presidential election.

He also served as chairman of the Commercial Engineering Specialty Council of the Chilean Institute of Engineers.

He currently serves as a member of the Board of Directors of the Central University of Chile.
