Carlos Moisés Lara Bejarano (April 19, 1924, in Pelileo – July 13, 2006, in Portoviejo) was an Ecuadorian radiotelegraphist and bureaucrat.

Bio

Born in Pelileo, he emigrated at an early age to Ibarra with his father, as his mother had passed away when he was young. He studied in Ibarra until high school, and at the age of 17, he moved to Portoviejo, where he started working at the Ecuadorian National Telegraph Office. In the capital of Manabí, he met his future wife, Mercedes Murillo Loor, a native of Jipijapa. They married on June 6, 1942, and had 12 children.

Radiotelegraphist career

In 1958, the Ecuadorian Telephone and Telegraph Company was established through the merger of the Telegraph Direction and the International Radio of Ecuador. This move was made by the government to prevent potential monopoly concerns. In 1960, President Camilo Ponce Enríquez appointed him as the National Director of both companies. He held this position until 1963 when he was removed from office by the dictatorship of the Military Junta.

Other offices

After working as a radiotelegraphist, he transitioned to the telecommunications sector of the National Development Bank, leveraging his extensive experience in the field. Additionally, he held positions at the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security and the General Comptroller of the State, where he retired in 1992.

Death

He died in Portoviejo of cancer on July 13, 2006.
