Amaia Gorostiza

Amaia Gorostiza (Eibar, Spain, 1967) is the president of SD Eibar, taking over the club on the 23rd of May 2016. She was the first woman to ever direct the team in the Basque club's 77-year history. During her two years in power, Gorostiza has been able to keep SD Eibar in LaLiga, an incredible achievement. Her exploits are made more impressive when considering that the city of Eibar has a population of barely 30,000, and that they play in one of the most competitive leagues in the world. Born in Eibar, Amaia Gorostiza is a member of the Amaya Tellería Group's Executive Board. She is also a member of Elkargi SGR's Finance Committee, as well as an executive board member for that company and others, such as Dominion and APD Zona Norte, and is also auditor for the latter. In her family, she has a mirror in which to look: her mother, Amaya Tellería, who in the '50s founded the automotive group that bears her name from a workshop that was in bankruptcy. As fruit of her work, she was recognized with awards as the best Basque businessman in 2013.
