IN SHORT

Javier Riba wears many hats – engineer, writer, artist, chairman of the board of Riba Smith supermarkets… More than anything, though, he has made a name as a humanist. A quick thinker and impressive conversationalist, Javier does not hesitate to lighten up the conversation – as well as his approach to life – with humour and even occasional sarcasm. He has three children, he has published three books, and his decisions affect some 4,500 families.
