An important part of Pascual’s career is linked to Iberian America. In the areas of institutional and corporate communications, he has been Director of the Business Council Alliance for Iberian America (CEAPI). Previously, he was in charge of the delegations in Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the EFE news agency. During this period, he coordinated relations with the administrations, institutions and media with interests in these countries. He was a member of EFE’s Board of Directors for five years.
In the business sector, Javier Pascual was previously the Corporate Director of the Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI). For several years, he was in charge of the corporate communication strategy and policy of the parent company and of the 16 companies that make up the Group.
