Andrónico Luksic Craig (Antofagasta (Chile) on April 16 of 1954) is a businessman and chairman of Quiñenco, a holding of the Luksic Group, one of Chile's largest conglomerates.
Andrónico Luksic Craig is the eldest son of Andrónico Luksic and Ena Craig. He spent his early childhood years, along with his younger brother Guillermo, in the mineral deserts of northern Chile. When Andrónico was only around four years old, his mother died during a heart operation. Fourteen years after this unfortunate death, his father would marry Iris Fontbona, giving birth to three new children: María Paola, María Gabriela and Jean-Paul.
In 1960, Andrónico and his family moved to Santiago, where they lived in a house at Alcántara street. In Santiago, he first attended the The Grange School. Then, at the age of 16, Andrónico went to the United States to attend high school at the Dublin School for Boys (in New Hampshire). Upon graduating, he moved to Boston to pursue a degree in business at Babson College. His tenure at Babson was cut short when he returned to South America to work in the family's Ford dealerships.
There, he married the Argentine Patricia Lederer Tcherniak, with whom he had five children: Andrónico, Davor, Dax, Maximiliano and Fernanda.
At the age of fifty, without prior mountaineering experience, Andrónico managed to reach the summit of Mount Everest in May 2004. Soon after, in 2005, he completed the "Seven Summits of the World" (reaching the summit of the highest peak on each of the seven continents of the world).
When his brother Guillermo died in 2013, Andrónico stepped into the role of Chairman of the Luksic Group and several of its related companies, notably Quinenco S.A., the holding company for the family’s non-mining investments. He decided to concentrate on consolidation of the group and on building strong positions for the new acquisitions.
