José Manuel Martínez included in Reactions magazine’s 40 most influential figures in the insurance industry over the last 40 years

Among the illustrious names on the list are global insurance giants like Warren Buffett, Hank Greenberg and Claude Bébéar, in a compilation produced by Reactions magazine in its final issue — a special 40th anniversary edition that sees the insurance industry specialist publication bid farewell.

Mr. Martínez, who was born in Murcia in 1947 and joined MAPFRE in 1972, is described by Reactions as “an architect” of the Group’s international expansion in the early 21st century, thanks to a string of acquisitions cementing the company as one of the biggest non-Life insurers in Latin America.
