Diego Bossio (born September 9, 1979) is an Argentine economist appointed Executive Director of ANSES, the national social insurance agency.
Bossio was born in Tandil, Buenos Aires Province. He enrolled at the University of Buenos Aires, and earned a degree in Economics in 2002. He married the former Valeria Loria, and they had one daughter. He joined the Fundación Contemporánea, a think tank, and was brought on by economist Aldo Abraham as a member of his Exante consulting firm. He later served as policy adviser to Mendoza Senator Celso Jaque. Bossio entered public service as the Secretary of Public Management, a key policy advisory position, to Jaque upon the latter's election as Governor in 2007.
He was appointed Director of the Mendoza office of the Mortgage Bank, and on January 5, 2009, was named as the government's representative in the Board of Directors at the bank, a private-public partnership. Following a cabinet shakeup in July, Bossio succeeded the Executive Director of ANSES, Amado Boudou; Boudou was appointed Economy Minister. Bossio's wife had worked as an adviser to Senator Cristina Fernández de Kirchner before the latter's election as President of Argentina in 2007, and was subsequently appointed Adjunct Director of SIGEN, the federal comptroller's agency. Bossio's appointment as Director of ANSES, which controls nearly a third of the national budget, prompted her resignation, however.
