What Happened
Gestamp, a multinational manufacturer of highly engineered metal components for the automotive industry, has appointed Ana Fuentes as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), effective immediately. Fuentes, who previously served as Director of Investor Relations and M&A, succeeds Ignacio Mosquera, who is leaving to pursue new professional challenges.
Mosquera led a key phase of financial consolidation for the Group, reducing its leverage below a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.5x through a refinancing plan. The company thanked him for his commitment over the past four years. Fuentes, who joined Gestamp in 2020, brings extensive experience in financial markets, corporate strategy, and investor relations.
“It has been a privilege to work at Gestamp alongside such a committed and talented team. I take with me four years of learning and projects that I am deeply proud of. I leave the finance area in excellent hands and with the satisfaction of having helped build a strong team.”
Why this matters
The leadership change reinforces Gestamp's financial strategy continuity as the automotive industry faces transformation and increasing competitive demands.
