Enrique Solbes will replace Juan Andrés Pro Dios

Juan Andrés Pro Dios was in charge of the position that Enrique Solbes will now preside over for 10 years. However, he has wanted to take an impressive leap and start an entrepreneurial career as a freelancer by becoming a Senior Information Technology Advisor with all the baggage that he carries behind him.
