Delfina Rossi is 26 years old and graduated in Economics in Barcelona, Spain, where she lived for several years. She has a Master in Economics as well, a course she took in Florence, Italy.

She was part of left-wing political groups in Spain becoming part of the list of that country’s Popular Left party in the elections for the European Parliament. Last year, she was a candidate also for the European Parliament, representing the Initiative for Catalonia, a leftist and green coalition.

Head of the Banco Nacion at 26 yrs old, a wealth of experience or is it because she is Rossis daughter? Nah I think it must be the wealth of experience that swung it her way.
