PRIME Metro BMD Corp. (PrimeBMD) has appointed Sebastian Arsenio R. Lacson as chief executive officer (CEO) with the task of overseeing the Razon-led company’s next phase of expansion.
PrimeBMD said in a statement on Monday that Mr. Lacson will take over the position recently vacated by J.V. Emmanuel A. De Dios.
Mr. De Dios was recently named chief executive and president of east zone water concessionaire Manila Water Co., Inc. He replaced ports tycoon Enrique K. Razon, Jr. in the leadership role as the water concessionaire reorganizes its senior management.
PrimeBMD is a joint venture between the Razon group’s infrastructure unit, Prime Infrastructure Holdings, Inc. (Prime Infra) and Australian construction firm, BMD Group.
With his new role, Mr. Lacson will continue to head the waste-to-fuel project of Prime Infra.
PrimeBMD also announced that its board of directors elevated Mick Slocombe to executive vice-president for engineering and member of the board operations committee to concentrate on the strategic and operational matters of the business.
Mr. Slocombe previously held the position of PrimeBMD’s chief operating officer.
“We are confident that Mr. Lacson’s extensive experience combined with Mr. Slocombe’s invaluable leadership and history with PrimeBMD will drive the company’s strategic growth and next expansion phase,” Prime Infra President Guillaume Lucci said.
Meanwhile, Hans Christian Lopez moved to PrimeBMD and assumed the role of chief operator officer, after serving as the deputy project director of WawaJVCo, a joint venture between Prime Metroline Infrastructure Holdings Corp. and San Lorenzo Ruiz Builders and Developers Corp.
PrimeBMD has business interests in the construction of roads and bridges, marine infrastructure and dredging services, airport infrastructure, building works, water and wastewater infrastructure, rail infrastructure, and commercial/residential land subdivision projects. — Revin Mikhael D. Ochave
