At the technical round table entitled \"The challenges of succession in the family business\", Marcos shared the experience of leading a company with more than a century of history. \"We come from a company that is more than 100 years old: in 1998 we started a transformation process, bringing our product to the market, evolving but without losing the north and the essence\", he explained during his intervention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The manager of Tortas Carmen Lupia\u00f1ez highlighted the fundamental role of his mother, Carmen Lupia\u00f1ez, as a reference in his professional career: \"I have always had a lot of enthusiasm, and my mother Carmen Lupia\u00f1ez as a reference. My mother always knew what I wanted, and helped me at all times to achieve it\".<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the discussion, Marcos shared his views on the key elements for a successful generational handover:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Transformation without losing the essence:<\/strong> \"A successor must tackle a transformation of the company without losing the roots, and must be committed to training in order to have clear objectives. In my case, we had a product that we believed in and we have adapted it to the market so that it can reach more and more places.<\/li>\n
  • Comprehensive preparation:<\/strong> \"You have to be prepared in every way for succession: no one is indispensable in a business, you have to start making changes and bring in qualified people to add to the company\".<\/li>\n
  • Clear strategic vision:<\/strong> \"In succession you have to be clear about the vision of the company, and what kind of growth or diversification you want: you have to make decisions, it's the only way to get there. You have to reinvent yourself, bring in new people who bring quality and modernisation\".<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    The technical round table was moderated by journalist \u00c1lvaro Payo and also included the participation of Javier Mart\u00edn Ruiz, operational and HR director at Costasol de Hipermercados, and Pilar M\u00e9rida-Nicolich, financial and HR director at Microcad. Previously, Macarena Selva, academic director of the Family Business Chair at San Telmo Business School, gave a keynote speech on good practices in family succession.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    Sergio Dur\u00e1n, territorial director of Cajamar in Malaga, Granada and Melilla, closed the event by stressing that \"family businesses face many challenges, but also the strength of the family as a strategic value\".<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
