Guillermo Diaz-Rousselot: Giving back
The CEO and president of $490 million-asset Continental Bank in Miami uses his financial insight to benefit
organizations like the Olympia Theater at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts.
My parents sent me [from Cuba] to the U.S. at the
beginning of the Castro takeover. They sent me with
my brother (we were 12 and 17) in the pursuit of freedom.
When I said to President Trump at a roundtable discussion
last April [2018] that every Cuban has a story, it is because
we experienced the alternative.
The organizations I participate in, they were my bank's
customers and asked me to join. I could not say no. From
my bankers' perspective, I help in the oversight of their
fi nancial goals and objectives, and gathering funds for some
of their expenditures.
I bring perspective, support-anything I can give back.
With the Gusman Center, my involvement was to help raise

funds to restore the Olympia Theater. In its heyday, it was
the crown jewel theater of Miami. Many community leaders
joined together to restore it, and we helped put it back
together by raising the money. This project started in earnest
in 2010 and continues today.
Those community models share a common thread: a
passion to make things better in your city. That is essential,
and it is essential for the success of your enterprise as well.
[Cubans] are passionate about our freedom and the
country that welcomed us. When you start over, you start
from scratch. That same passion carries to your work and
your community. Let's just call that paying it forward.
