ROTHSCHILD Executive chairman Rothschild & Co France
JUAN ROIG Chief executive Mercadona Spain
Juan Roig has turned a small regional supermarket chain started by his father into one of the largest in Spain, which generated sales of $27.3 billion in 2018. He has put particular focus on ensuring the sustainability of Mercadona’s supply chain, and treatment of employees, which has earnt it plaudits as one of Forbes’ most reputable companies. His daughter Juana, has taken on the challenge of rapidly digitising the family’s chain, which had fallen behind the times with its online offerings accounting for only 1% of revenue.

He first joined the bank during the financial crisis in 2008, moving from private equity at Argan Capital, where he was manager for three years. Prior to that, he worked briefly for the now defunct bank Bear Sterns. Last year, he stepped up to succeed his father, David de Rothschild, 75, following his father’s move to become chairman of the bank’s supervisory board.
