Carlos Martínez de Campos, new Chairman of the Board of Directors at Andbank Spain

After serving as President of Barclays Spain for 30 years, he has spent the last three as Chairman of the CaixaBank Advisory Committee. 

Martínez de Campos has also been responsible for Barclays’ international network of commercial and personal banking offices across five continents, as well as domestic and international private banking, and a member of the Group’s Executive Committee in London.

Daniel García-Pita, the current Chairman of the Board of Directors, will be the new Chairman of the Advisory Board at Andbank Spain.

Andbank, a private banking entity, will further strengthen its team with the appointment of Carlos Martínez de Campos as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors in December. He will replace Daniel García-Pita, who will now preside over Andbank Spain’s Advisory Committee. This appointment will become effective on 12 December.

Martínez de Campos, who until now has been Chairman of the CaixaBank Private Banking Advisory Committee, has an extensive track record in the financial sector. He headed up Barclays Bank’s establishment in Spain, and was appointed Chairman of the bank. He combined this position with those of Chairman of Barclays France, director of the German private bank Merck Finck & Co. and European Manager. Later, he also become manager of the Group Division that included the international network of offices and private banking in the United Kingdom and internationally. As such, he was a member of the Barclays Group Executive Committee in London.

In addition, Martínez de Campos has been chairman or member of the Board of Directors or the Advisory Board at listed and unlisted companies in various sectors, including finance, property, shipping, mining, hospitals, venture capital, security, IT consultancy, Internet and insurance. He has extensive experience on audit committees, risk committees and other corporate control bodies.

The recruitment of Carlos Martínez de Campos as Chairman of the Board of Directors will allow Andbank to reinforce its strategy in Spain and thereby consolidate its position in the private banking market, where it is one of the leading operators.

The Andbank Spain Board of Directors will continue to have Javier Gómez-Acebo, Fernando Herrero, Eduardo Muela and Jaume Aubia as independent directors.

Carlos Aso, CEO of Andbank Spain, explains that “having an asset like Carlos Martínez de Campos, with experience in private banking and in management and consultancy for the world’s most important companies, will help boost our growth in the Spanish market. We are lucky to still have Daniel García-Pita, whose experience and expertise have been crucial to Andbank Spain over the last three years”. “
