FIDIC<\/a> CEO has a lot of industry experience<\/h3>\nSusanna has served as an industry leader for 25 years, with notable works including spearheading governance reforms, financial stabilisation, and members engagement initiatives as the director general of the IRF. She has also been instrumental in creating partnerships in government and international financial institutions such as the UN and EU.<\/p>\n
With her at the helm, the IRF has expanded its global presence and launched several initiatives for road and transport infrastructure globally.<\/p>\n
Susanna Zammataro said: \u201cI am deeply grateful for the 18 remarkable years spent with the International Road Federation, where I had the privilege of leading transformative initiatives that advanced road safety, sustainability and global partnerships. Joining FIDIC is both an absolute honour and a thrilling new chapter in my professional journey. I am truly grateful to the FIDIC board for their trust and I look forward to collaborating with both the board and FIDIC members to build on the organisation\u2019s century-long legacy of excellence.<\/p>\n
“Together, we will continue to shape the future of global infrastructure, driving innovation and fostering cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDelighted to have found an excellent candidate\u201d<\/h3>\n
FIDIC president and senior vice president of Stantec and former chief operating officer of Morrison Hershfield (now Stantec), Catherine Karakatsanis, said: \u201cThe FIDIC board and I are delighted to have found an excellent candidate like Susanna to be the next CEO of our organisation. As a global industry federation leader of many years standing, Susanna knows well how membership organisations work and is familiar with the business, political and regulatory environment in which they operate.<\/p>\n
\u201cHer significant experience in the international transportation sector and across the membership organisation arena show that she has the skills and expertise to lead FIDIC into the future. Susanna\u2019s skillset and experience in delivering success and influencing decision makers is just what we need at FIDIC and her collegiate and collaborative approach shines through in everything that she does. The board and I, together with the FIDIC staff, are looking forward to working with Susanna and giving her our full support as she takes on her new role as our new chief executive.\u201d<\/p>\n
