Gas Natural Fenosa is headquartered in Barcelona, Spain and is over 170 years old; it was founded in 1843. With over 21, 000 employees it generates annual sales of around $32 billion.
The firm operates as a natural gas utilities company. It does business in the entire gas value chain, from exploration to distribution and marketing, including production, liquefaction and transportation. It also has facilities for gas storage and regasification. Gas Natural Fenosa operates through the following segments: Gas Distribution, Electricity Distribution, Gas, Electricity, Latin America and Other.
Leading such a huge organization with operations outside of Spain requires leadership and management skills at the highest level.
