In total, González spent more than 35 years at the company.
Jaime Muguiro joined Cemex in 1996 and has held several executive positions in the strategic planning, business development, ready-mix concrete, aggregates and human resources areas. He has headed several regional operations for Cemex, including the Mediterranean, South, Central America and the Caribbean, and most recently serves as President of Cemex in the US. He also served as CEO of Cemex Latam Holdings, which was a publicly listed company.
Muguiro remarked, “I am looking forward to this challenge and to collaborating with our customers, employees, and stakeholders to continue building a better future and ushering in a new era of sustainable construction.”
