About this template
The Spain Executive template is a Spanish executive CV in Lato for body with a Cambria name. Three pages — perfil ejecutivo, board impact summary, leadership trajectory — with a granate accent on section titles, a header portrait and the MCER languages bar kept visible. Reserved for executives targeting the Spanish Consejo de Administración.
Who is it for?
It fits senior Spanish executives — Consejeros Delegados, Directores Generales, Consejo de Administración members — recruited via Madrid and Barcelona executive search firms (Egon Zehnder Madrid, Spencer Stuart, Heidrick & Struggles, Korn Ferry) for IBEX 35 (Santander, Iberdrola, Telefónica, Inditex, BBVA, Repsol, ACS), family holdings (Grupo Villar Mir, March, Cosentino) and Latin American expansions. Profiles where every P&L figure, deal and transformation programme is dated and sourced.
How to use it
The opening perfil ejecutivo runs five to seven lines: career pattern, cumulative P&L scope (in euros), geographies (Spain, LATAM, Europe), transformation sectors. The Cargos de gobierno corporativo section lists each mandate with dates, type (Presidente, Vicepresidente, Vocal del Consejo, miembro Comisión de Auditoría) and nature (IBEX 35, IBEX Medium Cap, sociedad limitada familiar, multinacional). Mention governance certifications (IC-A — Instituto de Consejeros-Administradores) if applicable. For LATAM expansions, mention familiarity with local regulations (CNV Argentina, CVM Brazil, SEC Mexico).
Frequently asked questions
Does IC-A equal ICD.D for Spanish governance?
For Consejos de Administración of IBEX 35 listed companies and large family-owned enterprises, yes — IC-A (Instituto de Consejeros-Administradores) has become a reference marker, particularly for Audit Committee chairs. Mention it under the name. The PADE program at IESE Business School is also recognised at the executive level.
Is Latin American Spanish an asset?
Hugely. IBEX 35 groups (Santander, Telefónica, Iberdrola, Repsol) have massive operations in LATAM — familiarity with Brazilian (CVM), Mexican (SEC), Argentine (CNV) and Chilean (CMF) regulations is valued. Mention explicitly the LATAM countries in which you have operated and the jurisdictions where you have sat on boards.
How many pages for a Spanish executive CV?
Three pages standard for an IBEX 35 executive profile — less would be read as a signal of an insufficiently documented profile. Four pages tolerated for profiles with long list of Consejo mandates and dated LATAM expansions. American conciseness (one page) is inappropriate for the Spanish executive market.
