An academic origin that marked destiny
In the corporate world, personal connections often translate into collective success. Such is the case of Juan Roig, an emblematic name in the trade sector in Spain. In his professional path, his meeting with Hortensia Herrero at university became a key moment that transformed his trajectory. Although education did not appear to be one of his initial priorities, his life turned around when he entered a school run by Franciscans, where he began to value learning.
The strength of complicity and mutual support
From the beginning of their relationship, Juan and Hortensia have strengthened a bond based on respect and collaboration. Thanks to Hortensia’s influence, Juan went from being a student with indifferent results to a dedicated student. He recalls how his wife not only inspired better academic dedication, but was also a fundamental pillar of his business success. “His commitment to studies made me strive to be a better student and also a better professional,” shared Roig.
Hortensia: a solid ally in entrepreneurship
From her role as Vice President at Mercadona, Hortensia Herrero has not only contributed to the growth of the brand but has also been a stabilizing force for the company. His training and discipline, inherited from his family, have been essential in building one of the empires of modern commerce. Its presence as the second largest shareholder underlines the influence and value of its contribution.
An artistic and cultural legacy for Valencia
Hortensia’s passion for art is a constant in her life. With a clear vision and firm commitment, he has devoted resources to the restoration of Valencian heritage through the Hortensia Herrero Foundation. His most recent project, the Hortensia Herrero Art Center (CAHH), is not only a space for the dissemination of contemporary art, but also symbolizes his vocation to promote culture. The inauguration of this center, documented with a significant investment, reflected not only his passion, but also his dedication to teamwork.
Integrating heritage with contemporary art
Aware of the importance of the past, Hortensia has worked tirelessly to preserve the history and beauty of its surroundings. “My foundation seeks to be a bulwark of heritage and to publicize buildings that bear witness to our identity,” he expressed. Through its initiatives, it is not only creating a cultural nucleus for the local community, but also inviting the world to discover Valencia through art and history.
A shared journey towards a promising future
The story of Juan Roig and Hortensia Herrero is a powerful testimony about how love can be an engine of success. They have created not only a business empire, but also a united family committed to cultural values. His life emphasizes the importance of personal connections and mutual dedication, an experiential example that transcends business and art, proving that a strong marriage can be the foundation of a lasting legacy.
