: Although this is what caracter sometimes means, it appears to be a listing of positive qualities of the executive. To have a strong personality has negative connotations.

Spanish term (edited):
Es un ejecutivo maduro, centrado, con car�cter, con mentalidad financiera.
He is a mature executive who has a stable character and solid financial aptitude
This is how I would handle the translation: combine the concepts of "centrado" and "caracter" to form "stable character".
This sounds natural in English and seems to convey the intended meaning.
See reference for "solid financial aptitude".
Suerte.

In the context of "mature," too. I think "strong" and especially "powerful" are too extreme in relation to the rest of the context.
