ARK Architects had the honor of participating, as a sponsor, in a new edition of the Forbes Best CEO Awards 2025, held on April 16th at the iconic Mandarin Oriental Ritz Hotel in Madrid.
This event, now firmly established as one of the most significant gatherings in the Spanish business landscape, brought together top-level leaders to recognize excellence in corporate leadership, transformation capabilities, and strategic vision in a context shaped by technological innovation and evolving economic challenges.
This year, the award was presented to Meinrad Spenger, CEO of MasOrange, in recognition of his outstanding career and his key role in the integration of MásMóvil and Orange, creating the leading telecommunications operator in Spain by number of clients. In his speech, Spenger emphasized the importance of collective effort, highlighting that business success is always the result of committed teams with a shared vision.
The event gathered prominent figures from the business, institutional, and media spheres, consolidating its position as a platform for dialogue and connection among leaders shaping the future of their industries.
For ARK Architects, supporting initiatives of this kind reflects our commitment to excellence, innovation, and responsible leadership. Under the creative direction of Manuel Ruiz Moriche, co-founder of the studio, ARK continues to develop architecture that goes beyond aesthetics to become a tool for transformation—aligned with the values that also drive today’s leading executives.
Representing the studio, Antonio Ruiz, Marketing and PR Director, attended the event, reinforcing ARK’s presence in forums where talent, vision, and purpose converge.
This is not the first time ARK Architects has collaborated with Forbes on initiatives of this caliber. Our continued participation reflects a natural alignment with platforms that promote strategic thinking, innovation, and positive impact on society.
At ARK Architects, we believe that architecture is also a form of leadership—a discipline capable of addressing present challenges while anticipating future needs.
We would like to thank Forbes Spain for the opportunity to continue being part of these initiatives that celebrate talent, vision, and the ability to build a more solid, human, and inspiring future.
