As Chairman and CEO, Domínguez will oversee Rovensa Group’s corporate strategy, capital allocation, mergers and acquisitions, governance, and organizational structure, while maintaining oversight of relationships with shareholders and the Board.
“Thanks to Javier’s leadership through this critical transition, we now have a solid foundation and we’re ready to unlock new levels of growth and operational excellence,” Domínguez said. “We’re in an exciting moment for Rovensa Group, and it’s a privilege to lead our company in this next chapter.”
