I will continue serving NUTEC as Chairman of the Board, and I look forward to NUTEC’s continued success under Daniel’s leadership as our next CEO.” said Genaro Cueva.

In addition to chairing the Board of Directors, Genaro Cueva will continue to oversee strategic relations, acquisitions, and corporate governance.

Daniel Llaguno holds a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Management (ITESM), with further studies at IPADE, EGADE and Harvard (HBS).
