INSEE Cement Sri Lanka names Gustavo Navarro as new CEO

Business

INSEE Cement has appointed Gustavo Navarro as Chief Executive Officer of its Sri Lankan operation with effect from September 1, 2020.

The appointment follows the relinquishment of CEO duties by Nandana Ekanayake who successfully navigated the company through 3.5 years of unprecedented market and socio-economic challenges. Mr. Ekanayake will remain as the Chairman of the Board of Directors that he took on in May 2019, guiding the company in its next phase of growth, the company announced this week.

Having previously held CEO positions for Holcim in Serbia and Russia, and for CRH’s Romanian subsidiary, Mr. Navarro draws experience from a long-established career in the construction and building materials industry. With two decades of C-level leadership experience in contrasting construction landscapes and countries, Argentine-born with an Italian heritage, he brings deep insight to Sri Lanka’s growing cement business in a demanding post-COVID era.
