Manuel Conthe Gutiérrez is an economist, lawyer, and international arbitrator who brings decades of experience in financial regulation and corporate governance to his speaking engagements. His expertise spans securities markets, monetary policy, and the cognitive biases that influence economic decision-making.
Manuel led Spain's Securities and Exchange Commission (CMNV in Spanish) from 2004 to 2007, where he developed the influential Conthe Code for corporate governance. He served as Director General of the Treasury and Financial Policy for seven years and as Financial Sector Vice President at the World Bank. He has written three books on economic paradoxes and behavioural economics and currently chairs the Advisory Board of Expansión, Spain's leading business newspaper.
Manuel translates complex financial concepts into practical frameworks that organisations can implement immediately. His experience shaping policy at national and international levels gives him a unique perspective on how regulatory changes affect business strategy. He helps audiences understand the psychological factors that lead to poor financial decisions and provides tools to build more transparent, sustainable organisations. His work on the single currency offers valuable lessons on navigating large-scale economic transitions.
Audiences learn how to strengthen corporate governance practices, anticipate regulatory shifts in global markets, and recognise the cognitive traps that undermine sound decision-making. Manuel provides case studies from his work across multiple continents and sectors, offering actionable insights rather than theoretical concepts.
Book Manuel to gain perspective from someone who has shaped financial policy at the highest levels.
