When Argentina’s national bank, Banco de la Nación Argentina, hired Verónica Laura Asad (a.k.a. “Pitty”) as a consultant, it led to surprise, stupor, and indignation. As La Voz newspaper reported on the decision, which appeared to come out of left field, “After it emerged that Pitty, the numerologist, was hired by to conduct coaching sessions with the entity’s general manager, María del Carmen Barros, the numbers expert was showered with criticism.”
The news shocked many journalists and TV panelists and went viral on social networks. On the radio show El Observador FM 107.9 in Buenos Aires, one of the panelists said, “We are in a country where you see that your taxes do not return to you, where you see that Pitty, the numerologist, goes and bills Banco Nación to perform numerology on ten economists ….How can a numerologist be in a bank?” Given the negative press of this decision, one can only guess at the thoughts of the manager who made the hiring decision.
