Orilla Asset Management

Orilla Asset Management

Orilla Asset Management was established in 1994 to manage the Riberas family wealth generated by steel processing and automotive supply businesses. Francisco J. Riberas Mera serves as chairman and chief executive, with family members including Jon Riberas Mera and Patricia Riberas López holding board roles. The firm allocates across private equity, venture co-investments, real estate and infrastructure. Confirmed positions include Cabify, where Orilla led a $66.4 million round in March 2023, and Wallbox, recipient of multiple PIPE rounds between 2022 and 2025. Additional holdings encompass Mundimoto, miResi and Gonvarri Industries. Geographic reach covers Europe, North America and South America, with emphasis on direct deals rather than broad fund commitments. AUM stands at an estimated $500 million. The Madrid headquarters oversees a portfolio that includes the Palacio del Retiro Hotel and Gran Vía 4 Building. Orilla maintains two family foundations and participates in Spain Investors Day as a speaker in January 2025. Service providers include AZ Capital and BNP Paribas. Orilla operates through a hybrid structure that combines family control of core industrial assets with a dedicated vehicle for external venture and growth investments. This setup allows the family to retain board influence at operating companies while participating alongside third-party co-investors in technology and mobility opportunities.
