“Deeply grateful”
“I am deeply grateful for this recognition from CaixaBank. It is undoubtedly a boost for me to continue working day by day on the path we have set ourselves at SPB Global to become a benchmark in our sector. A path that my father set out more than 40 years ago with the support of my mother and whose legacy it is my responsibility to maintain and strengthen. And I receive it, but, in reality, it is an award to all the workers of the company because it is the team that makes absolutely everything possible”, said Gracia Burdeos.
For Xicu Costa, territorial director of CaixaBank in the Valencia Region, “the ‘CaixaBank Businesswoman Awards’, which this year celebrate their sixth edition, have been consolidated in recent years for their commitment to business excellence and the promotion of equal opportunities and diversity, fundamental pillars for the entity. As every year, we are proud to recognise the professional careers and leadership skills of these women leaders”.
