Zaldumbide was a wealthy landowner who pioneered the raising of Holstein livestock in Ecuador. He served as Vice President to President Eloy Alfaro Delgado from 31 August 1899 to 31 August 1903.[2] He later became the acting President of Ecuador on 12 August 1911 following the overthrow and exile of President Eloy Alfaro.
