Scavone is a third-generation Olimpia president in the family, following the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He resides in Asuncion, where he runs highly developed pharmaceutical companies that export to the Mercosur and other countries in Latin America. Among these is Laboratorios LASCA [1] , founded in 1935 and the country's leading pharmaceutical company.
