THE PIONEERING LUXURY-VILLA CONSTRUCTION FIRM RESTRUCTURES ITS SENIOR LEADERSHIP TO REINFORCE ITS CORPORATE STRATEGY
Jesús Sánchez becomes chief operating officer, joined by Javier Jiménez as the new technical director, under the leadership of José Andrés Mena, who remains as CEO.
Estepona, – Jamena Construcciones, a company with nearly four decades of experience on the Costa del Sol, announces a strategic restructuring of its executive and operational structure with new appointments and key reinforcements. This decision strengthens its position as one of the leading and pioneering firms in the construction of high-end single-family homes for a discerning clientele seeking innovation, technical excellence and premium service.

Since its beginnings in 1977, when founder Salvador Mena first entered the construction sector, through to its formal establishment as a company in 1999 with the incorporation of the second generation led by the Mena siblings — José Andrés, Ana Silvia and Sandra — Jamena has built a trajectory defined by integrity, quality of execution, technical rigour and strict adherence to budgets and timelines. These values have positioned the company as a benchmark in the construction of high-end homes both on the Costa del Sol and across Spain.
The company works continuously in prestigious areas such as La Zagaleta, Sotogrande, La Moraleja and La Finca in Madrid, among others.
Today, the company brings together nearly two hundred direct professionals, supported by a consolidated network of suppliers and contractors that generates employment for more than a thousand people indirectly. This structure allows Jamena to take on highly complex projects while guaranteeing exacting standards of finish.
Although its capabilities cover the full spectrum of construction, its core expertise has consolidated around the development of luxury single-family homes nationwide. This experience makes Jamena a trusted partner for those looking to develop high-end residential projects — whether in Marbella, the Costa del Sol or other regions of Spain — backed by assured quality, technical control and a meticulous delivery process designed to exceed client expectations.
New leadership structure and strengthened talent
At this new stage, Jamena announces the following appointments and structural changes:
- José Andrés Mena Mena – founder and long-standing CEO, continues to lead the company, safeguarding its long-term vision, philosophy of excellence and commitment to its foundational values.
- Jesús Sánchez Blanco – newly appointed COO (Chief Operating Officer), assumes responsibility for operations and project execution, bringing extensive in-house experience, deep sector knowledge and a firm commitment to Jamena’s culture of quality. His role enhances global oversight of projects, process standardisation and the company’s ability to deliver highly sophisticated homes. Sánchez has been part of the firm since 2014, previously serving as technical director.
- Javier Jiménez Cascajo – formerly Group Manager, becomes the new CTO (Chief Technical Officer), responsible for ensuring the highest levels of construction execution, coordination with architecture studios and rigorous control throughout the building process. His role is essential in maintaining the technical precision and demanding standards that define luxury residential projects.
- Alejandro Guerrero Barragán – joins Jamena as CXO (Chief Customer Experience Officer) and Head of After-Sales. He will be responsible for ensuring that the client experience extends well beyond the completion of construction, delivering follow-up, maintenance and support services aligned with the expectations of a sophisticated clientele seeking a fully integrated service.
These appointments strengthen Jamena’s structure at a key moment of expansion, supported by a robust technical team, a clear vision of quality and a client-centred approach. Together, they reaffirm the company’s role as a pioneering benchmark in the construction of high-end single-family homes in Marbella, Estepona, Benahavís and wider areas of the Costa del Sol, as well as nationally.
Pioneers in high-end villas: excellence, technology and personal commitment
This reorganisation comes at a moment of full consolidation and growth for Jamena. The company currently manages a substantial portfolio of ongoing projects, many of them exclusive villas designed for a select clientele — senior executives, elite athletes and renowned professionals — who choose to build their homes in highly sought-after areas of the Costa del Sol, Sotogrande or Madrid.
Jamena defines itself through its commitment to “building excellence through quality, technology and style”, as its CEO explains. For clients seeking premium finishes, meticulous attention to detail, impeccable delivery and absolute confidence, Jamena offers a distinctive value: a construction firm with history, technical capability, an experienced team and a service-driven philosophy at the highest level.
“With this new leadership team, we reinforce our commitment to excellence, innovation and a service that meets the expectations of the most discerning clients. Jamena does not simply build homes: we bring visions of life to reality, with rigour, quality and meticulous care,” says José Andrés Mena, CEO of Jamena Construcciones.
With renewed talent, consolidated resources and a long-standing track record, Jamena is now even better prepared to tackle the demands of the luxury market — a journey that will continue shortly with the presentation of its new corporate headquarters.
