The New Barcelona Post has constituted an Advisory Board with the aim of strengthening its strategic positioning and consolidating itself as a reference platform for explaining the positive transformations of Barcelona. This consultative body, made up of top-level personalities from the business, institutional, cultural, and academic worlds, was created with the aim of generating synergies with the city's main public and private initiatives and accompanying the editorial project in its mission to connect talent and promote an optimistic, rigorous, and committed view of the territory.

Among the members of the new Board are representative figures of Barcelona's diversity and vitality. From the business sector, leaders such as Pau Relat, executive president of Mat Holding, and Xavi Capellades, CEO of Parlem Telecom, participate, along with entrepreneurs with a strong cultural involvement such as Joan Oliveras and Miquel Cuaranta. The world of large corporations and strategic sectors is represented by Leticia Beleta, general director of Alexion; Cristina Vall-Llosada, director of Casa Seat; and Francesc Fajula, CEO of Mobile World Capital. Also contributing business vision are Adrià Barrio, general director of Must Media Group, and Carme Hortalà, economist and president of the Barcelona Finance Cluster.

The Board also includes professionals with a solid track record in the institutional and associative fields, such as Mercè Conesa, director of Barcelona Global, and Maite Esteve, director of the Catalunya Cultura Foundation. In the legal and financial fields, the presence of Ignasi Costas, co-managing partner of RCD Abogados and secretary of Tech Barcelona; and Joan Tubau, partner in charge of Assurance EY Catalonia, stands out. From the academic field, José Manuel Martínez, general director of the UPF Barcelona School of Management, joins, providing a perspective linked to knowledge and talent training.

With this wide range of perspectives, The New Barcelona Post wants to reinforce its commitment to Barcelona and to the construction of a narrative that highlights the talent, innovation, culture, and economic dynamism of the city. The Advisory Board, which already met for the first time in the Barcelona room of Casa Seat, aims to be a space for reflection and accompaniment that allows the media to consolidate its vocation: to explain the positive transformations of the city and contribute to projecting Barcelona as a global benchmark.
