About Zegona

 

Zegona was established in 2015 with the objective of investing in businesses in the European Telecommunications, Media and Technology sector and improving their performance to deliver attractive shareholder returns. Zegona is led by former Virgin Media executives Eamonn O'Hare and Robert Samuelson.

 

Zegona's first transaction was the €640m acquisition of Telecable in August 2015, the leading quad-play telecommunications operator in Asturias, Spain. In 2017, Zegona sold Telecable for a total consideration of up to €701 million to the northern Spanish telecoms group Euskaltel. As part of the transaction, Zegona returned £140 million of capital to its shareholders and became a 15% shareholder in Euskaltel.

 

In 2019, Zegona became the largest shareholder in Euskaltel and through the introduction of José Miguel García as CEO implemented a plan to drive significant change in the business including the introduction of the Virgin telco brand to expand nationally.
