Elena Salgado (71) was, along with María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, one of the most powerful women in the governments of the socialist José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. The former vice president and former minister of the Economy, Health and Public Administrations was appointed Saba's counselor on June 22. A new challenge for Salgado, who is, in addition to being a former politician, an engineer and an economist. From Saba, an industrial parking operator, they point out to LOC the value of the signing of Salgado: "Each member of the Board, with her career and experience, contributes value in that decision-making. In the case of the new counselor,. a concession company with more than 50 years of life. "A few weeks ago, it also emerged that former socialist ministers José Montilla and José Blanco had been signed by Enagás for their advice.
Elena Salgado already has experience as a counselor. She was a member of the board of Abertis Telecom, director of Nueva Pescanova and president of the Spanish Association of Consulting Companies. In 2019, she was appointed president of Motion Rail, the subsidiary that Talgo established in late 2016 to exploit rail transport activities.
Saba specifies the functions of the new director, as well as that of the other members: "The company's Board of Directors, and all the members that compose it, is the highest governance body and, therefore, in charge of ratifying all strategic decisions to position the company as a benchmark operator, both growth operations and all actions related to the Code of Ethics and Good Governance, as well as institutional positioning and sustainability, among others. "
In May 2009, Elena Salgado, who was the second vice president of the Government and minister of the Economy and Finance, spoke of "green shoots" in the context of an economic crisis that had not yet shown its hardest side. The task that Zapatero gave him was not an easy one. She had to replace Pedro Solbes when the economic winds were picking up and held until the end of ZP's second term in 2011.
Born in Orense, Elena stood out from a young age for her academic effort and rigor. "Elena was always the smartest in a smart family," said a relative of hers when she was named vice president. She chose industrial engineering at a time when it was considered a men's career. Precisely in college, she met her husband, an engineer too, from whom she separated. In common they had a daughter who became a judge of the Hague Court and made Salgado a grandmother.
In both his public and subsequent stages, Salgado has always maintained a very discreet profile. Stylish and with a very careful image, among her hobbies are hiking and also yoga. Specifically, in her time as minister and when the schedule allowed, Elena Salgado attended Bikram Yoga classes (yoga at 40º) in the Madrid neighborhood of Alonso Martínez. A sports technique that is widespread today but very innovative then.
