Helena Revoredo Delvecchio (born 1947)[1] is an Argentine-Spanish billionaire, and the chairman of Prosegur since 2004.[1] She controls half of Prosegur's shares through her holding Gubel SL.[2]

As of April 2022, Forbes estimated her fortune to be worth $1.2 billion.[3]

Early life

Helena Revoredo was born in Rosario, Argentina.[4] She is the daughter of the businessman Juan Federico Revoredo.[5] She has a bachelor's degree from the Pontifical Catholic University of Argentina, and an MBA from IESE Business School.[3]

Career

Revoredo's late husband, Herberto Gut, founded Prosegur in 1976, but died in a car accident on 31 May 1997 with her Mercedes.[3][5]

Revoredo was a director of Banco Popular Español, which was Spain's sixth-largest lender.[4] She is member of IESE's International Advisory Board (IAB).[6] In 2013, she held a 0.3% stake in Banco Popular.[2] From November 2014 to January 2020, she was sitting on the board of Endesa[7] (the first woman to sit on the board of the company[8]). In September 2019, Telefonica bought Prosegur's security alarm subsidiary for $300 million, partly with shares of Telefónica, making Revoredo a new shareholder in Telefónica.[9] In January 2020, her shares in Prosegur's controlling holding Gubel dropped below 50%, but she retained a majority on the voting rights.[10]

Personal life

Revoredo married Herberto Gut[4] and the couple moved to Spain in 1975 where her husband was in charge of setting up the Spanish subsidiary of his boss' security company, thus giving birth to Prosegur.[5] Their son, Christian Gut, is CEO of Prosegur, and her daughter Chantal Gut sits on the board.[11]
