BIOGRAPHY OF EMILIO MÀRQUEZ
Emilio Màrquez Espino, born in 1977, is a young businessman from Seville. In 1992 this Spanish internet pioneer began his career in the world of communications by means of the BBS. In 1996 he created a simple, popular web site which attracted followers and visitors until it became a reference amongst navigators in the Hispanic speaking world. Nowadays that personal project from a young information technology faculty student in Seville, has become the leading web page in the Hispanic language amongst the adult leisure market on the internet.
Emilio defines his beginnings as “crazy computing”. His first computer arrived when he was 8 and was a Spectrum 48KB with “chewing gum” keys and a small tape for 15 minute games which lasted exactly 6 days, 13 hours and 48 minutes, because on the 6th day, at the 13th hour and 48th minute his parents decided that this was no good, (obviously it couldn’t be considering Emilio spent a whole week without sleeping glued to his computer, in the style of the current “computer parties”), so he had to wait for his next computer until he could buy it for himself, at the age of 14.
His professional career began with a nickname on the University of Seville’s computer, the then computer apprentice received his access nickname from using his first surname and the first letter of the second surname: Marqueze, an original name which served as the title for his personal internet page back in 1996. He began by dedicating it to humour, computer questions and erotic stories; the photos, videos, contacts and the sexologist problem page came later, converting into Marqueze.net – one of the most important adult content pages in the world.
Innovative and enterprising, never allowing himself the licence to disconnect ever, as he says “on the net a month is equivalent to a year in real life, on internet time does not just fly it annihilates”! So from his offices in Seville or from home, day and night, we can find him always online creating new projects, or occupied in maintaining and updating the Marqueze.net web, just one of the reasons why Marqueze Telecom SA never becomes obsolete.
A group of 14 people, always in expansion and learning, accompany Emilio Màrqueze in the steering of the Marqueze ship.
Today, as well as concentrating on his multiple occupations as Manager and Director of Marqueze Telecom S A, Emilio is a popular lecturer for internet professionals and other business people, one of the keys to his success is his popularity on the internet, (It was not in vain that he spent 10 years getting to know the world of urls). His great capacity as a networker opens new doors daily by means of the “Marqueze business lunches” which are celebrated every 6 months in the cities of Madrid and Barcelona. Meetings where all of those attending are personally chosen by him, amongst whom are directors from Telefonica, the search engine Ask Jeeves, editorial groups and consolidated internet businesses, discussing tendencies on the net.
The Managing Director of Marqueze Telecom, has arrived after a long journey, hard work and the permanent setting in motion of new projects and objectives so that today the group is a reference point in all that is relative to on line business. This presence acquired it’s maximum representation in a recent report – e-españa 2006, an annual report about the Information Society in Spain, where a study of Marqueze.net appears, referring to new ways of making personal contacts by means of internet. You can find this study in the chapter: Uses of Internet in Spanish Households, paragraph 63; page 112.
In addition to this, Emilio Márquez has been a regular collaborator with the Salon Erotic of Lisbon, in the International Festival of Erotic Cinema of Barcelona (FICEB), and actively participating in different sectors of business projects and real estate investment, as in Thursdayinternet.com or RomanzaClub.com. Recently he has become a shareholder in the ItNet group, formed by businesses which have as a point of union their orientation towards the creation of services and contents for leisure and digital entertainment, sustained by clearly defined model deposits.
