Emilio Botin: The Legend

As we were about to kick off our annual conference in Barcelona earlier in September, we learnt with great sadness, of the passing away of Emilio Botin, Chairman of Banco Santander. He was 79.

Emilio Botin was responsible for the transformation of the Bank from a medium-sized Spanish lender to one of the world’s most successful banking entities. He is survived by his wife Paloma O’Shea and his children. 

His eldest daughter, Ana Patricia Botin, the former Chief Executive of Santander U.K. has succeeded her father as the group’s Chairman.

On behalf of all our members, friends and colleagues we express our sincere condolences to his family, friends and the whole of the Santander team of professionals worldwide.
