It is named after Enrique V. Iglesias, the first Ibero-American Secretary General of SEGIB, Honorary President of CEAPI, and President of the Award Jury.
The jury is composed of prominent figures from Ibero-American society, including Núria Vilanova, President of CEAPI; Ana Botella, President of Fundación Integra; Ana Botín, Chair of Banco Santander; and Juan Luis Cebrián, Honorary President of El País, among others.
Previous recipients of the award include Valentín Díez Morodo, President of COMCE; Plácido Arango, founder of Grupo Vips; Alejandro Bulgheroni, Chairman of Pan American Energy; Ana Botín, Chair of Banco Santander; and Carlos Slim, Chairman of Grupo Carso.

Upon receiving the award, Dionisio Gutiérrez expressed his gratitude and stated: "The best words I can offer today, as I receive this award—so honorable and yet undeserved—are sincere recognition to those who have granted it." He added that the award should inspire us "to find more spaces for dignity, intelligence, and hope."
