David Martínez Guzmán (born in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico 1957) a Mexican investor who is the founder and managing partner of Fintech Advisory, a firm that specializes in corporate and sovereign debt. Fintech has offices in London and New York, and he currently divides his time between those two cities. Described as “the most influential Mexican on Wall Street,”〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Cadena 3 )〕 Martínez played a major role in the restructuring of Argentina’s sovereign debt and described himself in 2013 as having participated in nearly every restructuring of sovereign debt during the previous 25 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =CNN Expansion )〕 His investments have been characterized as extending “from New York to Patagonia.”〔 He is a major holder of assets in Argentina, with Fintech Media LLC, a subsidiary of Fintech Advisory, owning “more than a billion dollars in financial assets” in Argentina alone.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work =Periodico Tribuna )〕 According to one source, Martínez is widely viewed as “following in the footsteps of fellow Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim to become the richest man in the world.” His close connections to Argentinian presidents Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner are said by many to have been a significant factor in his success. ==Early life and education== David Martínez was born to Manuel Martínez and Julia Guzmán in Monterrey, Mexico. His family lived an average life until his father inherited a small fortune. Later, Martínez moved to Rome and enrolled in Legion of Christ Seminary to become a priest. After just six months he decided he was not suited for that vocation. The ''New York Times'' has noted that Martínez’s hometown, Monterrey, “is home to some of Mexico’s largest industrial companies,” with power being “heavily concentrated among businessmen in the so-called Group of 10, a club that includes the Sada family.” Although Martínez “was not a part of that circle, he has cultivated deep connections to it,” helping the Sadas in 2004, for example, when one of their firms went bankrupt, and, later, becoming involved in the bankruptcy of the Sada-owned firm Vitro. According to one source, Martínez’s “paternal great great grandmother was the sister of the paternal grandfather of Adrian Sada.”〔 “As a young man,” according to the ''New York Times'', Martínez “was a member of Regnum Christi, an evangelical group related to the Legionaries of Christ, an influential Roman Catholic order in Mexico that includes among its benefactors the billionaire Carlos Slim.” After earning a degree in electrical engineering from the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM or Tec de Monterrey), he “moved to Rome to study philosophy at the Pontifical Gregorian University and considered becoming a priest.” He soon decided, however, that he did not have a clerical vocation, and instead obtained a loan from a friend’s father in order to study at Harvard Business School. There he excelled as a student, made important connections, and earned an MBA. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Martínez (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
