Eduardo Serra Rexach has built an extensive career across public administration, the business sector and civil society. A State Lawyer since 1974, he is the only Spaniard to have held senior government positions under all three political parties that have governed Spain since the restoration of democracy. He served as Undersecretary and Secretary of State for Defence before being appointed Minister of Defence from 1996 to 2000.
In the business sector, he has chaired companies including Cubiertas MZOV, Peugeot-Talbot Spain, Airtel —where he served as founding chairman—, UBS Spain and Everis. His commitment to civil society has also led him to hold numerous institutional responsibilities, including the presidencies of FAD, INCIPE, the Board of Trustees of the Prado Museum, the Elcano Royal Institute and the Spanish Atlantic Association.
More recently, he served as a board member of PharmaMar and ECOENER, a Trustee of the Elcano Royal Institute, an Honorary Member of the Círculo de Empresarios, and an Honorary Trustee of the Prado National Museum and the Ortega-Marañón Foundation.
