Alberto Llaryora - AFA PRESS founder

About Alberto Llaryora and Affa press:

---

Alberto Leandro Llaryora  International business man and media tycoon, the Argentinian magazine Fortune defined him as "eccentric, entrepreneurial and a man of the world".

Born in Tucumán, one of the most underdeveloped provinces in Argentina, the critical tone of his  magazine NOA, covering current,economic and political topics in San Miguel de Tucumán, forced him into political exile in 1976 - a move which would motivate him to become a media mogul with offices throughout the world.

Llaryora's has owned and invested in a diverse range of media including newspapers, radio stations and television stations and a wide range of  medias such as Competencia, Gaceta Ilustrada, Grupo Futuro, Canal 8 de Tucumán, Grupo 8 de Prensa, El Periódico, Radio Antena 8 and Canal 10.

In the 1970s Llaryora recognized a niche in the market for the production  of supplements to be published in leading print media and digital medias  in Europe and the USA. The idea caught on and culminated in the creation of AFA Press, a communications company that works with a network of partner agencies providing content for the publication of supplements, economic reports  for print and digital media across the world.

With offices in London, New York and Madrid, AFA Press has seen its work published in medias including The New York Times, USA Today, Le Monde, The Daily Telegraph, The Observer and U.S. News & World Report. They have published over 15,000 pages .

For a man whose contacts have included Indira Ghandi, King Hussein of Jordan, Silvio Belusconi (Italian Prime Minister), Nelson Mandela (ex-president of South Africa), King Hassan II of Morocco and Chris Gent (CEO of Vodaphone), he keeps his personal life surprisingly under wraps. His children inspired him to create the a charity set up in 2003 to provide food for over three thousand children in the Tucumán province. Llaryora also supports CERENU (Centro de Recuperación Nutricional María Rosa Gómez) that works to treat children in late stages of malnutrition.
