Rosp Coruña SL, the holding entity associated with the Ortega family, has adopted a new governance model under the leadership of Sandra Ortega, Amancio Ortega’s eldest daughter. The company now operates with a board of directors rather than being led by a single director. The board includes Sandra Ortega as its president, with her three children Antía, Martiño, and Uxía joining as directors. José Antonio Fresnedo Amado was appointed to represent Rosp Coruña, a role he assumed in 2020, replacing José Leyte who had steered the company for two decades.
The announcement from the board stated that Uxía would share the presidency with her mother. However, some industry sources have called this interpretation a misstatement, suggesting that Sandra Ortega remains the sole president and that the presidency would stay with her only.
The development marks a notable moment in the Ortega family’s corporate footprint in Galicia, following a broader pattern seen within the group. The recent shift mirrors the changes that occurred at Inditex nearly two years earlier, in April 2022, when Marta Ortega became the company’s new president and signaled a generation transition for the family business.
Sandra Ortega’s children grew up in the region around A Coru�a and received their education in public schools, contributing to a public profile that blends private family business with regional civic presence. The family’s involvement in Rosp Coruña illustrates a continued emphasis on governance and succession planning within the entrepreneurial landscape of Galicia.
