 | ICA Announces Management Changes |
|
Mexico City, March 23, 2011 – Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V. (BMV and NYSE: ICA) announced that its Board of Directors approved changes in senior management, as part of an orderly leadership transition process.
Alonso Quintana Kawage, currently the Chief Financial Officer, becomes Chief Operating Officer effective July 1, 2011, reporting to Chief Executive Officer José Luis Guerrero.
Victor Bravo was appointed the new Chief Financial Officer of ICA, also effective July 1, 2011. He is currently the CEO of OMA, ICA’s airport subsidiary, and was previously the CFO of OMA and the head of corporate finance at ICA.
A new Executive Committee, headed by Alonso Quintana Kawage, was also created. The other members are:
● | Diego Quintana, representative of ICA for the Industrial Construction division, responsible for Airports, Homebuilding, and Real Estate divisions, and strategic alliances; |
● | Carlos Méndez, responsible for the Infrastructure Concessions division; |
● | Luis Horcasitas, responsible for the Civil Construction division; and |
● | Rubén López, responsible for Strategic Planning and the International area. |
The five individuals will coordinate ICA’s operations across the different business divisions. The Executive Committee becomes operational immediately.
Bernardo Quintana, ICA’s Chairman of the Board, said, “ICA has been engaged in an orderly leadership transition process that began when the Board approved the separation of the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and appointed José Luis Guerrero as CEO, effective January 1, 2007. Since then, we have been steadily renewing the leadership of the company at all levels. Today’s announcement is the next step of this process. ICA has enjoyed unprecedented success in growing our business over the past four years. We have more than doubled revenues since 2005, and increased our profitability substantially. At the same time, we have been successful in raising the new capital and financing required to reinforce our position as Mexico’s leading construction and infrastructure operations company. This new team combines a fresh perspective together with long experience working in ICA. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I want to extend my congratulations to the new operating management team that I expect will carry ICA forward to even greater success in the coming years.”
The Board also approved the retirement of Sergio Montaño and Luis Zarate and their departure from the Board. Mr. Quintana continued, “I want to extend my appreciation to Sergio Montaño and Luis Zarate for their dedicated service to ICA. The company, and indeed Mexico, owes a debt of gratitude to both men for their contributions to the development of the country’s infrastructure over many years.”
The Board also accepted the resignation of Juan Claudio Salles as a director, and will nominate as new directors Luis Horcasitas, Rubén López, and Melissa Boisson at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. Mr. Quintana added: “I am grateful to Juan Claudio for his years of service on the Board, and I extend my greetings to the three new members being nominated; I am confident that their collaboration will enrich our meetings.”
