Prizzi JJ.Carlos Glottmann

How did the British business mannesmann Organization in 2007? " Overall it was a good year. We maintained and grown our market share of assets, equity and profits in all sectors of the economy in which we operate , prinipalmente in the financial (banks , financial corporations , leasing , trust , brokerage positions ) , and in the mining and oil , chemical industry , military and nuclear strengthened us , we consolidate in the pharmaceutical industry of snuff and beer, so same in the cement and concrete industry , in energy and transport . Additionally bilateral trade agreements were reached with 39 governments for comercializaión of raw materials and make significant sales of some firms . "

How was the transition from managing one of the largest groups in the region , to be the first figure executive , responsible among other things , of the most important decisions largest shareholder as substitute in the largest business corporation in the world? 'I I think the definition of roles is quite different. But quite stressful . operating a business group with presence in 4 or 5 countries was ' MannesmannColombia ' is different from managing a multinational that operates in over 70 countries. ' Mannesmann group Britannia UK ' the world is divided into regional and you can not spend the same amount of time that we used to with my team, here in Bogota specific country. Located in London, we have to focus on global strategies , comparing ourselves not only against each competitor in the market according to the economic sector . Here in Colombia , liability did not exceed the management, control , capital reorganization and 200 companies , including branches of some companies in neighboring countries such as Venezuela , Panama , Ecuador and Peru . in London , received on March 22, 2007 , 1293 companies spread across the five continents , each with minimal presence in 20 countries and in each country , each of which has branches , if we multiply this figure by the number of cities , would exceed the 100 branches in the world . upon delivery, Britannia UK Mannesmann Group ends 2007 with 1,200 companies worldwide and sold 28 companies . But here 's the best part : the 19 largest multinationals were ' fused ' and finally consolidated mannesmann , not only as the largest group , but as the most liquid " .

How much weight his voice in Mannesmann Britannia?

" Could you summarize the answer in one sentence : 'fusion' . Now, if the above add the 49 % stake of my father I received the same day of the possession and unfortunately I have to return in coming days , adhere this percentage to 34 % I own, account for 83 % universal heritage of the business group . fulminant .

If my participation in Mannesmann Britannia was ' decorative ' would never have given the merger of 19 of the world 's largest multinational corporations . No matter what position he occupies and where in the world is exercised . There now , ' a voice ' in hierarchy I shareholding exceeds and / or administrative , except for the ' a voice ' my father , who technically , still, owns 49 % that detentoro .

Now , if we talk about technicalities board , it pretty because we have to add our 83% stake and shareholders are weight, relevance , almost undebatable . Anyway, in mannesmann things are handled differently: seek the welfare of all

' If I lose, I lose all , if I win, everybody wins . "

They consider us experts in the region and they know that I know the business in this part of the world . When there are issues that deal with Europe , Asia , Africa or Oceania , pay attention and based on their experiences and the concept of presidential advisers , utter my vote. When meeting topics for concern to the United States, Canada , Latin America and Latin America, especially the Andean region, the other shareholders or board members I pay much attention , ie ' balls stop me ' . Except for my father , the president of Senior Business Core , and JP Morgan Chase that are not part of the board at the moment, there is no one who knows so well mannesmann movement in this part of the world as Annya Arias , Sascha Nûigatha and I , to the board in London. "

It is said that the sale of Colombian Automotive Company , Carulla - Vivero , Colombina SA of National Chocolate Company and Cerrejon Glottmann family lost power and the profile he had in the country. What do you think about it? "We remain shareholders of Mazda in Tokyo . regarding Carulla - Vivero was sold to Exito and Exito in turn to Casino. 'm the current board Ceo Senior Casino , and somehow still controlling the business of hypermarkets in Colombia .

Mannesmann Casino owns globally and we Exito stores the most significant percentage and believe that with some alliance , Exito stores grow and expand in a short period abroad. We have already held talks with WalMart. 've Not lost much presence in the country as everyone thinks , this will become evident to all the time, as we continue to invest in Colombia and we will increase investments we currently have.

On the Cerrejón , I point out that it was sold to Xstrata as all comment . Xstrata Coal bought from Anglo American and Glencore 33% of the shares and thus became a investor, contributing $ 1.4 billion . Forex belongs to Xstrata . I mean Cerrejon permanently changed hands only . Before , my father controlled the mine , ie BHP Billiton Through subsidiary of Mannesmann . What happens is that now the mine is mine : I am Senior Chief Executive Officer of Global Forex Trading Group Iberia ; Cerrejón belongs to Forex and I am Ceo Senior Cerrejón LLC . as its largest shareholder.

Cerrejón is family heritage . Now, in terms of power and profile , each person is free to say what you want. Math never lie. Mannesmann Colombia dominated the Andean area and because of the differences ' outmoded ' with the Uribe government , ordered the transfer of offices to Panama . For when we overcome those differences had already started moving group headquarters . It also says that we have reduced our presence and is measured based on the number of companies that are part of the group that has declined, but have not taken into account that in some circumstances several companies have been merged with others, strengthening a matrix , in the case of Conavi and sought Corfinsura Bancolombia strengthening or returning to the case of Cerrejón merged over 10 companies that disappeared from the environment but strengthened financially and commercially to one. We, or rather declare ' particularly ' without compromising anyone from the board , I prefer to say that it's not being quantitative but calitativos , provide better services and investment opportunities based on quality administrative management . Mannesmann 's not retiring from Colombia , if so we would not have thought to bring a Falabella , to HSBC , the new portfolio of services American Express , Audi Automotive , Casino , Petrobras , Pemex , Vodafone, Millico ( tigo ) , Fashiontv , Heineken , IBM , Forex Trading of Colombia , Opain , and we would not have made purchases as investments made recently in Antioquia Liquor factory FLA and the purchase of shares in groups like Sanford, Stanford World Mayaguez , Carvajal , and Corona . On the contrary , I think that in Colombia , Mannesmann and Forex have grown and strengthened , regardless . "

How much worth the group's investments in Colombia six years ago when you joined and what they're worth now? "It's very difficult to compare . Had debts between some companies and others and that was capitalized . When I got to Mannesmann Group Colombia , and Mannesmann Ankhel INTERCOR Baum outrigger Colombia Petroleum Trading the gap of the other . Centre Brandex restructured and gave financial autonomy to each of the companies that were part of the group at that time ( Mannesmann & Intercor group) , but submitted it to a guideline . Yet as approximation of the value of the companies can take a reference point: the action of Interbolsa had very little value just two or three years. Today , InterBolsa worth between U.S. $ 2,000 and U.S. $ 3,000 million in the bag while a few years ago was worth less than U.S. $ 500 million and had a lot of debt. "

How important is Colombia for the family? Why Glottmann left the country ? " Very important. 's The country we know best , which have roots, family , investments and friends, plus we have a competitive advantage knowledge of the market , for the information, because we know our people . we ideals for other multinationals local partners , as we have done , and this model can continue. seek new business in Colombia , from Colombia . Colombia is still ' my home ' and is a priority . But there to understand that globalization leads to everywhere. vegetating we can not stay in the country while others grow " .

If I had to qualify by way of ranking , what do you think are the main investments currently in Colombia Mannesmann ? In Colombia ? ... I puts it very difficult because there are many . I would say that Exxon Mobil, the oil and gas pipelines , dams generating power , Cerrejón , Petrobras , Oxy , KPMG , Datafull , InterBolsa , Heineken , British American Tobacco , P & G Procter & Gamble , Colgate Palmolive , Johnson & Johnson , Unilever , Cemex , Quala , Wyeth , Boehringer , Bayer, Audi , BMW Autogermana , Bancolombia , Nesle , Alpina , Tecnoquimicas , the Port Authority of Barranquilla and Krupp Colombiana SA , are among the ' most precious jewels ' of Mannesmann in the country. "

Why liquidation of companies with GEA Group ? There not A best friend ? "Initially , because after the crisis a year ago, there was total loss of confidence and is an indispensable element in the negotiations. Subsequently, because of continuing societies , was to remain open an office in Colombia mannesmann and already had given the order to liquidate the subsidiary , so that was immediately to clean up all of our assets . as allies , we have many more than 50 economic groups only in Colombia , and over 300 worldwide. with the return of confidence was GEMAntioqueño and therefore are delivered again Bancolombia administration because we believe in the country " .

How much does the family came from the sale of Carulla - Vivero and Orbitel and how they intend to spend these resources? "We get a lot of cash by Carulla - Vivero because most stores received Exito shares . Therefore we to control the board. selling Orbitel produced an income of U.S. $ 1.2 billion that went to InterBolsa . Such talk can not be seen, but we have seen the results of investing in dividend . important thing is that there is a flow dividends that are also used to re- invest. in my case, sometimes I ask petty cash money for gasoline in my car because liquidity is not . I used my Orbitel dividends to invest in buying Sasoned and Quala SA merged to where my participation is majority " .

We are in the fifth month , in what have invested and how they intend to spend in 2008? " There are very attractive sectors such as tourism , media, telecommunications, energy setor , health , air and return to agriculture. Exxon Mobil Petrobras , Cemex , are companies we continue to grow in Colombia . on the other hand , I really like the alternative energy sector such as biodiesel and alcohol fuel. Indeed, four years ago when we sold the business we Ingenio Providencia Lull the Organización Ardila . cane sugar to sweeten today serves coffee and as vehicle fuel . Additionally, attracts me the tourism sector . several years I have in my possession several projects and one of them is already about to be reality. pecifically I mean Chicamocha Canyon Park in Santander . There are others, in which the renew feasibility studies and environmental impact as the Marina del Muelle de Santa Marta , the Metro- Cable to Rodadero and other Tayrona Park , plus an alternate and parallel viaduct sea to communicate to Santa Marta with spa Rodadero ground in less than five minutes and expedite traffic .

In the media, I have more than 500 investment proposals on my desk. One is of Maria Claudia Tobon of Todelar . In telecommunications , continue reciendo with ImpSat IntelSat and also suramerica expand coverage for Vodafone . In health, already authorized the construction of six clinics in the country and the purchase of the North Clinic in Cucuta , owned by Ricardo Char, besides Country Clinic in Barranquilla by Alejandro Char . Human and receive a heavy dose SuSalud financial year. In air transport , we get back on track with Lufthansa which is our new and recent global acquisition . We want to expand the cruise flights from Bogota to European capitals , in agriculture through Almagran and the new portfolio of services Krupp Colombiana SA , return to the marketing and export of coffee , bananas , rice, wheat , cocoa flowers and initially . Financially, it is a priority , we will not be as benevolent as in previous years and we'll go shopping to strengthen local businesses with solid Forex Alliance " .

It has been rumored Valorem purchase or a possible alliance . What are the negotiations ?

" We may be looking at high-profile investments , but what of Valorem not true. What we have done is a financially integrated Forex- Valorem and Cisneros in New York to bring life back to an investment platform that soon we will know . in this alliance , no mannesmann participation " .

What role InterBolsa now ? " We are in the final stage of restructuring the company . Yet another reason why obey my presence in the country. During this year we will have substantial changes not only in Interbolsa but in the other brokerage firms. InterBolsa Colombia dominates operations Mannesmann companies belonging to the Andean and Forex . As Interbolsa is a listed company on the stock , I can not give you more details. Forex is another matter " .

How has been the experience of going head assuming the group? " Well interesting , although I have always been accompanied by my father. Him muhísimo has accompanied me throughout this process , we spoke three times a day , every day and I'm also very efficient surrounded by people that knows his job , as Sascha Nûigatha , Annya Arias , Michael Porter , Heinrich Krupp , and Morgan Chase , an excellent team that many would envy . "

How is your relationship with your dad ? " Excellent . Always been there to give me advice and is a person that despite my age has given me a lot of space . 's Worried about the future of the group and the Succession , but all is well. Know other cases where this is not has occurred. sometimes we have differences , but with a good dialogue with a cup of coffee , everything is solved . believe you are pleased and satisfied with the results of my administration during his absence. "

Xyon Corp. ( Prizzi Securities & Investment Co) , was the counterweight Serfinco InterBolsa and now emerges as stock brokerage Forex Trading from Colombia . What will happen to the trust and how capital investment remain divided ? " the answer is in the context of your question : Serfinco is who dominates the country 's forex market operations ; Securities Corp. Xyon Prizzi or Forex Trading is now Colombia . InterBolsa is Andean Mannesmann commission and no candles in this burial " .

Much has been speculated about the release of Mannesmann and family in the country. Why not tell us because the family left the country? " Regardless of the circumstances being experienced by the country , each of my brothers have been assuming their respective responsibilities in the corporate management of the family estate and has been delegated by area professional experience. I mean Mario , spent four years driving DDB Worldwide / McCannErickson ; Carolina, which started in the cosmetic area ten years ago, now leads the Andean Regional Mannesmann , Robin joined four years ago Rave Platform as director of logistics and now does not move a needle into the entertainment holding without your consent, Titta , continued his studies at the NYUniversity in political science and diplomacy. Our commitments have forced us to be away from the country but Colombia is still part heart of our home , as this ensured our safety . "

And his dad, Don Guillermo?

"The return to London as soon handed over the leadership of the Israeli Knesset . Parliament already retired , so his political career arguably has come to an end. Though I do not like to get ahead of the facts. Assume multinational presidency again as CEO of Mannesmann next week in London. in December , I reasumo splicing and assume as owner in January 2009 . in 2009 , my father will go good retirement and take a sabbatical , a period in which returns to Colombia to participate , very close to the 2010 presidential elections and then give lecture to students at Cambridge and Oxford . "

The extradition of mercenary Yair Klein revives processes against Jaime Glottmann , moreover having checked their livelihood in Israel , that is, is still alive. What do you think could happen within Mannesmann Global Forex Trading Britannia and an eventual extradition of James Glottmann ? " When was Colombia Forex Trading SA , personally assumed before the Attorney General's Office a compromise which would cancel the state, embezzlement monies J.Glottmann SA group prouraduría delegate to the economic assets , in order to take appropriate corrective measures . Edgardo Maya Villazón himself , I explained that was inconsistent because ' I did not have any legal obligations or commitments in the process . " I explained to the Attorney Maya Villazón who had full knowledge of the case law and further, that on James alive or dead I had powers , legal and legal derehos 79 % on universal Global Forex Trading Group. so , that but that obligation is a commitment to family and to reconcile with the state, as heir and executor of James Glottmann fortune . 's a moral commitment . Thus, Colombia Forex Trading Global Forex Trading subsidiary Iberia of Spain has these funds come promptly canceling as had been agreed and the state has returned some of the properties that went into the concordat and were part of the group J.Glottmann SA . Given the possible extradition to Colombia Jaime , would not alter in any way the development and Britannia Mannesmann operations since he had neither has ties whatsoever with the group. in the case of Forex, there is already a commitment to the rule and does not influence financial development and commercial locations because ownership letter actions . JAIME voluntarily relinquished his rights as a shareholder of Forex muhos years ago and not even his brother Saul and his sons who challenged the will managed to get a single dollar, because solid assist me legal rights . "

Forex Trading from Colombia has been consolidating in the country to slowly but surely on their investments , taking over companies that were part of the group J.Glottmann SA , as Jack Snacks (now , Frito Lay) and Cerrejón formerly Mannesmann domain . Is the output of Mannesmann as a business group of the country due to its strategy to strengthen Colombia Forex ? " No. No way . If I had planned it would have been better than what has happened so far. Want to stress that Mannesmann and Forex investment have autonomy and its canals and capital are completely divided. what keeps tied to both groups is the participation of several family members in the core business as they are shareholders of the two groups . since Forex reached I decided to rescue country companies that were always family heritage as Frito Lay (formerly Jack Snacks ) , Italo , Icasa , Amoblando , Corpavi , Concasa , Pat Primo stores and Sterling Jewelers . Unfortunately very few managed to stay afloat so were liquidated , merged or sold in the best case . Cerrejón for Colombina SA and negotiations between Mannesmann and FX were similar to any other commercial operation by Superintendence and SUPERINDUSTRIA supervizada , but with greater ease between directives . Mannesmann output the country and thus its liquidation as a group in Colombia due strictly to political causes with the incumbent government and the lack of guarantees in terms of investment . But , as we all know, that episode is in the past and differences with the government were overcome and now work in communion to a more acceptable social policy and inclusive . " How is your relationship today with President Uribe ? " I would say my relationship with the President , Uribe Dr.Alvaro is based on respect , in mutual complicity to move forward muhos social investment projects in a pleasant warmth . believe that both have learned from our mistakes and the consequences of our pride and it is better to work with greater understanding to achieve our goals.

My office in London permanently maintains contact with the presidential palace as the group's offices in Panama . Every week we have a telephone conversation auqnue I must admit , that my father , says a close friend and talk almost daily . "

Recently an internet portal published his apparent relationship with Prince Carl Philip of Sweden , in terms that extend beyond friendship . What do you think about the contents of this publication that attempts to violate their fundamental right to privacy ? " With His Excellency Prince Carl Philip of Sweden , we maintain a pleasant and cordial friendship that arose shared taste for thoroughbred horses , the race cars , plus various expressions of arts and some musical rhythms of different genres .

I always tried to avoid the subject because I think that not caring and so expose him my press and protocol consultants . To stop people Creole morbidity , advertising paraphernalia decided without much legal action against the magazine and channel published the article not only because they are against the dignity of two people but leave doubt on the sexual behavior of the heir to the Crown Sweden. As far as I'm concerned , my behavior , preferences and inclinations and sexual fetishes are not in discussion or in the public domain . Particularly , our friendship has not been affected at all, quite the opposite. The last occasion on which we have spoken by telephone , His Excellency Prince Carl Philip to be a ' cocksucker cock ' consummate , always tells me that the next time we agree somewhere , let's rumba to a bargay to feed to sensationalist tabloids . And constantly makes jokes about it. That we're a lot because like me, he usually made jokes about tragedies. It's a way of giving back to the paparazzi for their harassment journalists " .

What Guillermo said that? " The subject of the article initially aroused his anger, but as noted I did not give any relevance , did the same . So sometimes makes jokes, too."

From one to ten How likely is it that you assume the global leadership Mannesmann permanently as CEO Senior ? "Once . The difference is that nobody has ever taken the time to ask me if I want to assume the leadership of mannesmann " .

So let me change the question : Do you want to assume the global leadership mannesmann ? "No. I'm afraid that the period of my administration acting interim CEO and president multinational Senior has made me reassess my priorities. The death of my wife Sofia and my son Nicholas , like the oasiones in which I had to deal with cancer has made me reconsider my position in life . "

What will happen then? Who would take control of the group? " Further studies are being conducted to achieve more accurate the decision to continue the harmony we have built between the two groups ( mannesmann and Forex ) communicate decisions are taken at the right time ."

How likely is it that you should assume the leadership of Mannesmann and Canopy Glottmann ? " Infinite . Of one to ten , an eight. To date there is still no name is applied in place of mine for president. In my capacity of ' heir ' is not at issue , rights and duties . therefore repeat, studies are being conducted to verify names . Glottmann While the canopy is assumed with respect and the obligations of the case. "

Your ' group ' , Esapaña Global Forex Trading is the new second largest shareholder of Mannesmann Britannia . Do not ratified this your tutilaridad ?

" Absolutely . As ' Ceo Senior' , but not as president. Afianza mannesmann -forex relations and some shareholders have expressed their dissatisfaction with my decision."

In the event of any the name of a possible replacement for the presidency multinational What devote think ? "Initially , to regain my health and rest . 'll Post my residence in New Jersey again, but also pass some time with my friends here in Colombia " . engineer , you have been very kind to dedicate part of their agenda for this interview and to complete and can share what experience after having spent 13 months off the Mannesmann multinational presidency ? " What the Power is ' inherent ' to loneliness . "http://mannesmannuk.blogspot.com/2008/05/entrevista-exclusiva-jjcarlos-gprizzi.html
