Rueda came to contest the elections to the presidency of Santos in 2017, when he came in second place, defeated by Peres. He also participated in two Peixe efforts, acting as a member of the Management Committee on both occasions, both of which were abandoned because they did not agree with the decisions made by other members.

Systems engineering specialist, Andrés Rueda served as director of technology at the Stock Exchange and Mercantile Futures Exchange. In a recent episode, he even loaned just over R $ 11 million to Santos, money that was destined to pay off a debt with Hamburg of Germany.

The mandate transition process with Orlando Rollo (Vice de Peres, who took office after his impeachment) should begin next week, but Rueda will only take over Peixe on the first day of January 2021.

For the Management Committee, Andrés Rueda will have José Renato Quaresma, Dagoberto Oliva, Walter Schalka Vitor Sion, Rafael Leal, José Berenguer and Ricardo Campanario, who, together with the president, make the economic decisions about Santos.
