Background
Alberto Ruiz Rodríguez is the Director General of Omega Gestión de Inversiones, SGIIC — the asset-management arm of Omega Capital, the Madrid-based single-family office of Spanish billionaire Alicia Koplowitz. Koplowitz founded Omega Capital in 1998–1999 to manage the fortune she realized after selling her stake in the construction group Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas (FCC); she owns 100% of the vehicle and serves as its President. Ruiz has been part of the firm's management team since 2007, overseeing its private-markets and multi-asset investment programs.
Ruiz has more than 30 years of experience in the financial sector. Earlier in his career he worked at the brokerage All Trading Brokers and spent roughly a decade at Analistas Financieros Internacionales (Afi), and his professional history is associated with vehicles and firms including Morinvest SICAV, Equity Box SCR, Lontana Fund and SKL Capital (where he has served on a board of advisors). He was educated at ICADE (Universidad Pontificia Comillas) in Madrid and has pursued executive education, including programs at Harvard Business School and a Global Advanced Management Program at IE Business School (2021–2022).
At Omega, Ruiz runs an investment approach rooted in family-office discipline: the firm has invested in private markets since its founding around 1999 and combines two complementary programs — commitments to external fund managers (fund-of-funds) and direct co-investments — so the team understands value creation from both the manager-selection and the direct-deployment sides. He has been a public voice for the firm, giving interviews to outlets such as *Expansión* and appearing on Spanish finance podcasts (e.g., "All In The Game") discussing the family office's strategy.
Investment Thesis & Focus
- Private markets first: Omega has deployed into private equity since ~1999, treating it as one of the family office's core programs.
- Dual-track model: Ruiz pairs fund commitments (fund-of-funds) with direct co-investments, arguing "both programs complement each other" — the co-investing informs manager selection and vice versa.
- Strategy focus: Buyout and growth equity within private equity, alongside real estate (notably luxury hotels) and listed/strategic minority stakes across a multi-asset book.
- Geographic reach: Concentrated in Spain, Portugal, Italy and the United States, with reported plans to push new funds into the broader European market.
- Family-office mindset: Long-horizon, permanent-capital orientation typical of a single-owner family office rather than a fixed-life fund with LP redemption pressure.
