Vicente Varo’s Summary

I am a journalist who specialized in finance and investment after studying at the Economic Information Seminar of University de Navarra. I started my career in the online edition of the Spanish financial newspaper Expansion in the summer of 2000. A couple of years after I requested the change to offline edition. In October 2005 I moved to elEconomista to launch this new paper, where I became co editor in the Investments Section. In august 2008, I caught the train back to the Internet to join an innovative project called Unience, the investors social network, where my position is Community Manager.
