Cemex EMEA has appointed José Antonio Cabrera as its new regional president, tasked with overseeing the company’s operations in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Cabrera began his career at Cemex in 2000. Since then has been appointed to various positions in the fields of strategic planning, operations and trade, through which he has supported Cemex operations, and contributed to the growth of the company in regions across the globe.
For the past six years, he has been general director of Cemex Cluster Caribe (Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico).
In his new role as president of Cemex EMEA, he will continue the work begun by his predecessor, Sergio Menéndez to prioritise the company’s strategic priorities; fostering a safe and healthy work environment for all employees and contractors; placing ‘customer centricity’ at the forefront to enhance customer satisfaction; and focusing on challenging decarbonisation goals to reduce emissions across the value chain.
Furthermore, Cabrera will champion innovation, Cemex says, leveraging its knowledge and resources to achieve “breakthrough advancements” towards carbon neutrality, while also supporting financial growth by advancing the sustainability agenda through “smart financial” strategies, and maintaining the region’s strategic position as a key part of the business’s portfolio.
