The leader of the Commerce Guild, a galactic trade organization that operated in the Galactic Republic during its final years, was known as the Presidente. This title was held by Shu Mai, a Gossam female hailing from the planet of Castell, throughout the Clone Wars. Her tenure ended with her death on Mustafar in 19 BBY, inflicted by Darth Vader. As the Commerce Guild's Presidente, Shu Mai leveraged her power during the Separatist Crisis to align the Guild with the Confederacy of Independent Systems, securing herself a position on the Separatist Council.
