Mexican fuel retailer G500 Network has announced the appointment of Luz María Gutiérrez as new CEO.
Luz María Gutiérrez will replace Emilio Estrada as CEO of growing Mexican gas station operator G500 Network. The new head of the company was the CEO of Petro-7, 7-Eleven’s brand for the Mexican fuel market, during the last five years, reports Forbes.
“I am thrilled to join a company with a value proposition and growth that have become references in the Mexican service station market,” said the new CEO in a statement.
