Valencia – 30.01.19. Antonio Torregrosa Maicas, until now Project Director of the Fundación Valenciaport, has been appointed today General Director of the aforementioned entity, in an extraordinary meeting of its board of trustees.

The replacement is a natural consequence of the restructuring process promoted by the Port Authority of Valencia as a result of a strategic reflection with the aim of reorienting the Foundation’s projection in the future.

Antonio Torregrosa, who has more than 20 years of experience in the port logistics sector, is replacing Vicente del Río Méndez, who has been the director of the entity for the last 6 years.

Torregrosa has a degree in Economics and Business Studies from the University of Valencia, a Master’s degree in International Trade Management from IMPIVA and a Diploma of Advanced Studies in Business Administration and Management.

Between 1998 and 2004 he was a Senior Research Technician at the Institute of International Economics at the Universities of Valencia, Alicante and Castellón, where he coordinated R&D activities in different fields related to economics, transport and logistics, making his first contact with the sector. Since April 2004 he has been Project Director of the Fundación Valenciaport, being responsible for the promotion and coordination of the different areas of the Foundation. In addition, his curricular specialization is oriented towards innovation in topics related to trade and logistics in the maritime-port area.

Torregrosa assumes the position with the firm objective of continuing to contribute to the competitiveness of the Valenciaport logistics cluster through innovation, training and the intense activity that the Foundation develops in the international arena.
