Indra faced a notable leadership transition when Axel Arendt, the former manager, submitted his resignation following the appointment of José Vicente de los Mozos as the new chief executive officer, replacing Ignacio Mataix. The move came with an accompanying letter in which Arendt announced his departure and noted the commission’s announcements regarding appointments, remuneration, and corporate governance. He described a climate of intense pressure and urgency during the final phase of the selection process, a sentiment he attributed to the ongoing circumstances surrounding the company. This account was reported by Europa Press.

The letter, addressed to Indra’s chairman Marc Murtra and the board of directors, and shared with the National Securities Market Commission, underscores that the ongoing CEO search was being conducted with the utmost diligence, speed, and independence by the commission. The message highlights that, in the final stage of the process, the commission faced extreme time pressure that, according to Arendt, hindered its ability to ensure the best possible outcome for the decision. The stance reflects Arendt’s view as Indra’s former adviser. (Europa Press)

Mataix’s departure

In Arendt’s view, Ignacio Mataix’s exit from the company came after a period of strong performance under Indra’s leadership. He stated that he did not understand the reasons behind Mataix’s departure given the solid results achieved during Mataix’s tenure and the high reputation the company enjoyed in both markets and the defense industry. He noted that he had agreed to the transaction terms governing Mataix’s departure, yet the rationale for the move remained unclear to him in light of the favorable results and standing Mataix had helped secure.
