Hungarian multinational Cordia, has announced the appointment of Fernando Rodríguez Lluesma as the new CEO of the company in Spain. This appointment follows the recent designation of Mauricio Mesa Gómez, former CEO for Spain and Romania, as Chairman of the Board of Directors in both countries.

Likewise, Cordia also aims to leverage cross‑border opportunities supported by strong local management teams and an already consolidated regional network.
