Cemex Directors have appointed Jaime Muguiro to replace retiring CEO Fernando González, a 35-year veteran of the global cement, aggregate and concrete operator, effective April 2025.
“In over a decade as CEO, Fernando has led Cemex to great success, and he will leave us with a company that is an industry leader in sustainability, innovation, and digitalization to better serve our customers,” says Cemex Chairman Rogelio Zambrano. “Cemex has also regained its investment-grade ratings and is poised for continued growth. I am confident that Jaime is the right person to lead Cemex, and that his experience, vision, and expertise will serve the company well as we work to provide even more value for all our stakeholders.”
Muguiro joined Cemex in 1996 and has held Strategic Planning, Business Development, Ready-Mix Concrete, Aggregates, and Human Resources executive positions, leading to a 2019 appointment as president of Houston-based Cemex USA. His successor is Cemex South, Central America and the Carribean President Jesus Gonzalez.
