Post by Youth Economic Circle (YEC)

Last February 26th, YEC hosted a private dinner with Antonio Fernández-Galiano, one of the most influential figures in Spain’s media and communications sector. Former Executive Chairman of Unidad Editorial, publisher of El Mundo, Marca, and Expansión, Antonio led the group through one of the most critical periods of transformation in the industry, navigating digital disruption while redefining its strategic positioning. Today, as Chairman of ATREVIA Spain, he continues to shape the intersection of communication, corporate reputation, and institutional positioning. Over an intimate and candid dinner, we explored topics ranging from current affairs and geopolitics to the evolving role of journalism and media in society. Antonio also shared personal anecdotes and reflections from decades at the forefront of business and institutional leadership. What made the evening truly special was the openness of the conversation, an honest exchange on the challenges, decisions, and lessons behind a remarkable career. Thank you Antonio for your generosity, perspective, and time.
