The president of Estrella Galicia launches to preside over the association that Sánchez joins every year

The president of the Estrella Galicia brewing group, Ignacio Rivera, will assume the presidency of one of the main business associations in Spain from 2024. He will thus replace the president of Sener, Andrés Sendagorta, as head of the Family Business Institute at the end of his term..

Rivera thus launches himself to preside over this influential association that integrates some of the most important companies in Spain and that has faced continuous and consecutive insults from the President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, in recent years.. He has not attended the annual meeting of this institution that brings together Mercadona, Acciona, Barceló, Iberostar or Ferrovial, among other large groups.. Rivera will assume the representation of this institution in a legislature that is presumed difficult for businessmen due to the reissue of the coalition government.

His nomination was approved this Thursday by the IEF board of directors “unanimously”, according to an official statement.. It is unusual for the association to settle the change of presidency so early, since it will not be formalized until next spring at the annual meeting, but on this occasion there has been no debate.

Ignacio Rivera Quintana (A Coruña, 1965) is the current president and CEO of the Corporación Hijos de Rivera brewing group, a family company founded in Galicia in 1906.. Belongs to the fourth generation of the family. His work was frequently praised by Alberto Núñez Feijóo when he presided over the Xunta, although Rivera was critical of his fiscal policy compared to that of the Community of Madrid.

Rivera will thus become the sixteenth president of the Institute for a period of two non-extendable years, as stipulated in the institution's statutes.

This businessman (A Coruña, 1965) is the current president and CEO of the Corporación Hijos de Rivera brewing group, a family company founded in Galicia in 1906.. Belongs to the fourth generation of the family. «Hijos de Rivera is a Galician, independent company with 100% national and family capital, whose main activity focuses on the manufacturing and distribution of beer.. It is present in the premium segment with its most recognized brand, Estrella Galicia,” the statement says. Rivera is assuming institutional positions and also this year he agreed to preside over the Spanish brewers association.
