Biography
Daniel Soloducho Sprinberg was born on 12 April 1954. In 1978 he was awarded the degrees of Certified Public Accountant and the Bachelor of Business Administration from the Universidad de la República Oriental del Uruguay.
He started his business activity in 1973 as Owner and Director of Typerary S.A., a company dedicated to the manufacturing of hairpins. A few years later, between 1979 and 1986, he held the position of General Manager in the textile manufacturing company Paylana S.A.

Between the years 1987 and 2006 he was the Founder, Director, and General Manager of the textile manufacturing company Dancotex S.A., a “Project declared of National Interest” by the Uruguayan Government.
Dancotex was considered one of the main textile companies in Uruguay, and its success was due mainly to its firm commitment to innovation in processes and products, having managed to successfully bring over to the global market and to highly-demanding international buyers, a Uruguayan fabric which has been internationally recognized for being unique of its kind and featuring unique characteristics.
Faced with an unfavorable exchange rate policy, the company had to generate a competitive horizon through the merger of its two plants into the one with the higher availability for both the physical and services unification, offering jobs in the merged plant and wages in accordance with the law in force.
Due to the occupation of the plant, which lasted more than one year and made it impossible the unification of the teams, the undertaking became practically unfeasible, and the company filed for judicial liquidation.
The differences and conflicting positions culminated in a judgment in favor of the company.

He was the President of Taglit – Birthright Uruguay and the Representative of Taglit-Birthright for Latin America; this is an organization that allows Jewish young adults worldwide to travel for 10 days to Israel to connect to their roots, and to the Jewish history and culture.
