London UK, Hispano Americano Sociedade do Investimento Lisboa and Banco Urquijo Chile, among others, and was a member of the Management Committees of BHA, BCH and Santander Central Hispano for 15 years. He was also chairman of MasterCard International until its IPO on the NYSE. Mr Falcones was formerly Chairman of RWE Spain and, prior to joining FCC in 2008, was a founding partner of Magnum Capital Partners, Spain's largest private equity firm.
