Spanish retailer El Corte Inglés has appointed associate Victor del Pozo Gil as its director general of retail, including purchasing, sales, and marketing.
Madrid-born del Pozo Gil, 51, has been with the retail giant for more than 25 years. He is an engineer and an economist, and received his MBA from the Instituto de Empresa and his PDG from the IESE Business School in Barcelona.
Prior to this position, del Pozo Gil was the deputy director of purchasing. In December 2016, he became a patron of the Fundación Ramón Areces, which supports scientific research.
With his appointment, the company said it has reinforced its commercial management.
Independent consultancy KPMG announced in February that El Corte Inglés had created 340,000 jobs and contributed 2.4% to Spain's GDP in 2015, with an economic impact of €25 billion.
