Francesc Riverola

I was born in Palo Alto, Stanford California back in 1967 so for my children I'm old already. Raised in Barcelona I have dual citizenship (American and Spanish) even though I feel Catalan and American. Got a degree in Economics for the University of Barcelona and an executive training at IESE Business School (PDD 2000). I got involved in the Forex internet world in 1997 as a webmaster of a Forex advisory firm and late 1999 I started FXstreet.com with the help of a designer my wife Miriam and a programmer my friend Setxi, now my partners at FXstreet.com. The success of the site forced us to create the company FOREXSTREET SL in 2001 and leave our jobs to focus just on the site. Currently I hold the position of CEO at FXstreet.com.My daily duties are responding the e-mails of visitors, partners, collaborators and clients and then try to run the office as smooth as possible... To do that, I try to be as a side as possible and let my employees take the decision and explode their potential... So far it has worked wonders for the company even though sometimes is frustrating because things happen without your intervention. I love basketball and I'm a fan of FC Barcelona both basketball and Football team (Soccer for Americans). I've got two beautiful daughters and we all live in Barcelona.
