Ignacio Mataix, the chief executive of Indra, is stepping away from the office following an approved plan by the company’s board of directors. The move comes in alignment with Mataix and the board, signaling that the succession process will hinge on the finalization of the strategic plan for the coming years and the message from leadership confirms this direction.
Mataix will continue to hold his current responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition and maintain continuity in management while a new CEO is identified. The selection process will involve the engagement of an independent consultant to guarantee objectivity. After relinquishing his role as chief executive, Mataix will continue to contribute as a strategic consultant. He has served on the board for two years and will provide ongoing guidance during the transition period.
The company’s governing body, chaired by Marc Murtra, expressed unanimous support for the decision, describing it as very positive and extending thanks and congratulations to Mataix for his excellent leadership and the strong results achieved, particularly in 2022, as well as for the effectiveness of the group’s transportation and defense activities during his tenure. The board’s appreciation recognizes Mataix’s outstanding performance as the head of Indra and his contribution to steering the company through a pivotal period.
Just under a year ago, Cristina Ruiz Indra submitted her resignation as TI CEO to the board, leaving Mataix as the firm’s sole chief executive until this transition plan was proposed and approved. [Cited from Indra corporate communications]
