Gabriele BURGIO

CEO and Chairman, NH Hoteles

Gabriele Burgio (Florence, 1954), is Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of NH Hoteles, S.A., since October 1997.
NH Hoteles is Europe’s third-biggest company in the urban hotel sector, with 269 hotels and more than 38,967 rooms in 19 countries in Europe, Latin America, and Africa.
A graduate in International Law at the University of Florence, Mr. Burgio holds an MBA from INSEAD in Fontainebleau (1982).
From 1982 to 1990, he worked in the Corporate Finance and Structured Financing departments of Bankers Trust in New York and Italy, and in Manufacturers Hanover in Italy.
In 1990, Mr. Burgio joined C.I.R. Holding, a group of Mr. Carlo de Benedetti, where he was in charge of different industrial and financial projects.
He came to Spain in 1993, joining Cofir, an industrial holding and company owned by C.I.R., as Managing Director. After his arrival, Cofir changed its strategy completely, leading to a merger with the previously owned company NH Hoteles in 1998.
Since then, NH Hoteles has become one of the fastest-growing hotel chains in Europe, increasing its sales from 148.3 million Euros in 1997 to 984.6 million Euros in 2005, and is also developing innovative food and beverage concepts such as “nhube” and the fast-growing restaurant chain “Fast Good”.
NH Hoteles is listed on the Madrid Stock Exchange (it is included in the selective IBEX-35 index), and trades in an ADR format on the New York Stock Exchange.
In June 2002, Mr Burgio was appointed independent member of the board of Grupo Ferrovial, S.A. and in September 2002 of Banque Syz, Geneva.
Mr Burgio is an Italian national; he is married and has four children.
In 2003 he was awarded Manager of the Year in Spain by A.T. Kearney and the weekly magazine Actualidad Económica.
