CriteriaCaixa

CriteriaCaixa is the investment holding company of Fundación La Caixa, the sole shareholder. It is a significant player in the Spanish economy, with investments in major companies like Naturgy. CriteriaCaixa is currently newsworthy due to recent leadership changes. José María Méndez, formerly the director general, has been appointed as the new CEO, filling the vacancy left by Ángel Simón's departure in April of last year. This appointment follows Méndez's inclusion in the Board of Directors of Fundación La Caixa. Furthermore, Francisco Reynés, who serves as the First Vice President of CriteriaCaixa, has had his term as Executive Chairman of Naturgy extended until 2030, with shareholder approval. These changes signal a reorganization and reaffirmation of CriteriaCaixa's strategic direction and its influence in key sectors like energy.
