Biography

For quite some time I had been thinking about presenting my different facets: I am a businessman, a citizen, a father, a hiker, an art collector, and a philanthropist. And every day I do my best to ensure that each and every one of my roles is based on the same vision, on the same values and convictions.

I have devoted an important part of my wealth and time to promoting a new form of philanthropy. As a businessman, I tried to create social and economic prosperity and, at the same time, to protect and regenerate the environment. As a philanthropist, my desire was to spur positive social change, particularly helping the neediest, and safeguard opportunities, as best I could, for future generations.

In My Path, my Perspective, I recount the experiences and lessons that have enriched my being while developing activities in different areas. In “Profile” you will find a résumé of these actions. Doubtless, this long and passionate learning process has led me to consider that sustainable development is the most viable option for our societies and for present and future generations.
