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.”
“My career at Cemex, especially my time as CEO, has been the most rewarding part of my professional life; serving our customers, employees, and stockholders has been a privilege and an honor.” says Fernando A.

Having worked alongside Jaime for over two decades, I know his dedication, leadership, and business acumen will be key to an even better future for Cemex.”
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 United States. He also served as CEO of Cemex Latam Holdings, which was a publicly listed company.
“I thank Rogelio and the Board of Directors for their trust, and Fernando for his guidance and leadership, both of great inspiration to me,” says Jaime Muguiro. “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.”
