Biography

Larreta was born in Buenos Aires on October 29, 1965. He graduated in economy at the University of Buenos Aires in 1988 and obtained a Master in Business Administration in Harvard Business School. He returned to Argentina in 1993. He was appointed director of the ANSES in 1995, during the presidency of Carlos Menem.
