Foundation

The Ankaria Foundation was born in 2009 and constitutes the materialization of a dream shared by Javier Rosón and Saleta Cedrón: the aspiration to create a platform from which to contribute to the promotion of culture and art by supporting creators in Spain and in anywhere in the world, while serving as a channel for thought and reflection on the topics that currently focus the debate on advanced societies.

Javier Rosón Pérez

Becerreá, Lugo, 1938 - Río de Janeiro, 2016

Javier Rosón Pérez. He created the Ankaria Foundation with his wife, Saleta Cedrón Gil, in 2009. From the very moment, he finished his degree in law his professional career has been centered in the world of business. After holding positions of maximum responsibility in agrifood societies such as Frutos Selectos or Frigsa, in 1983 he founded his own business project under the name of Liteyca, focused on the field of telecommunications. Liteyca, the main benefactor of the Ankaria Foundation, is today a case of business success in which Javier made clear his vision, an extraordinarily personal way of conceiving business, supported by strong leadership and deep social values. Passionate about art and culture, it is impossible to detract from his patronage work as a collector. Together with his wife, Saleta, he managed to form one of the most important private art collections in Spain.
