Relevo de campanillas en las telecomunicaciones españolas. Leer
José Antonio López, once the top executive of Ericsson in Spain and Latin America, is stepping down as CEO of Lyntia to be replaced by Luis Rivera, who previously held the same position at Bluevia. Rivera, who formerly oversaw Telefónica's fiber wholesale subsidiary, will assume the role starting October 1st. López will continue as a senior advisor until the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition.
Lyntia, controlled since 2022 by Swiss Life, Axa Investment Managers, and H.R.L. Morrison, is Spain's largest independent backbone fiber provider, competing with Telefónica and Reintel. Rivera boasts extensive experience in top-level positions across leading telecom and infrastructure companies, having led Bluevia's growth through major acquisitions and network expansions.
López's tenure at Lyntia yielded significant milestones, including the carve-out of access and network businesses, the sale of Lyntia Networks to Swiss Life, Axa, and Morrison, the acquisition and integration of Evolutio's fiber assets, and the incorporation of ONI's Portuguese fiber holdings. López holds a telecommunications engineering degree from the Technical University of Madrid and an MBA from Columbia University.
