Baldomero Falcones,
chairman of Alpine Holding’s
Supervisory Board
Chairman and CEO of FCC Baldomero
Falcones Jaquotot has added to his res-
ponsibilities in the FCC Group today by
agreeing to chair the Alpine Supervisory
Board. With this appointment, FCC see-
ks to become more closely integrated
with its Austrian subsidiary for Central
and Eastern Europe.
Baldomero Falcones is relieving Diet-

of the company after it bought into Al-
pine in mid-2006. This appointment is
yet another step toward strengthening
Alpine’s management just months after
Johannes Dotter was appointed as the
new CEO.
The new chairman of the Alpine Super-
visory Board has an extensive career
at home and abroad. Mr Falcones was
chairman of Santander Central Hispano
Seguros, Banco Urquijo Hispano Ameri-
cano Ltd. London UK, Hispano Ameri-
cano Sociedade do Investimento Lisboa
and Banco Urquijo Chile, and he was a
member of the board at BHA, BCH and
Santander Central Hispano for 15 years.
He was also world chairman of Master-
Card until the company’s flotation in
New York. Furthermore, he was chair-
man of RWE España and, before joining
FCC in 2008, he started up Magnum
Capital Partners, Spain’s largest private
equity concern.
