Billionaire David Martinez may have a tougher time keeping a low profile now that he’s presiding over a merger that will create Argentina’s biggest public company.
Telecom Argentina SA’s combination with Cablevision SA will produce a telecommunications powerhouse with a market value of $11.5 billion, according to brokerage TPCG. The top shareholder of the new company will be Martinez, a native of Monterrey, Mexico, who splits his time between New York and London and rarely grants interviews.
