Francisco González: “Corporate leadership is essential to the future of Spain”
Ciudad BBVA, the BBVA Group’s new headquarters in Madrid, today hosted the General Assembly of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE in Spanish). In his presentation at the conference closure, BBVA’s Executive Chairman praised the work of Spanish businessmen and businesswomen, “Their role is very relevant and their leadership is essential to the future of Spain, even though society does not often recognize this sufficiently.”
Francisco González made reference to the Fourth Industrial Revolution that is currently underway. BBVA’s Executive Chairman described how new technologies are transforming customer behavior and the companies’ ability to provide the services they demand. “For BBVA, the threat from disruption is a major opportunity,” he said. “Dear businessmen and businesswomen, you too can turn threats and challenges into opportunities, as you have demonstrated in the most recent crisis,” he added.
