Born in Madrid in 1963, of Galician origin, Meir\u00e1s is a graduate in Law from the Complutense University in Madrid, and has an MBA from the Instituto de Empresa business school. Since joining Ferrovial in 1992, he has served as Managing Director of the Autopista del Sol toll road, as well as Cintras Toll Roads Director until 2000. At this time, he was promoted to the Management Committee as CEO of Ferrovial Servicios, when this division was created. He has also served, amongst positions, as Vice Chairman of subsidiaries Swissport and Amey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Ferrovial we are working to ensure that successors are always those persons best prepared. <strong>This is undoubtedly the way to secure the future of the company and, of course, this is the case with I\u00f1igo Meir\u00e1s. He has a deep knowledge of the Group, developed over several years across the various businesses of the company<\/strong>,\u201d concluded Joaquin Ayuso, who has confirmed his intention to remain involved with the Group, as part of the Board of Directors, once this transition period has concluded.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n
