David Peñaloza, 50, is the heir to the business established by his family, originally known as Grupo Tribasa. The construction company in the 1990s. after the so-called ‘Tequila Crisis’, had to respond to its creditors and was reborn as Promotora y Operadora de Infraestructura (Pinfra). Under his leadership, which he assumed in 2001, the CEO has weathered crises such as those that hit Mexico in 2008 and 2020, managing to almost triple the number of transportation infrastructure projects managed. Last year, after a change of external auditor, the company delayed the presentation of its audited financial statements, avoiding the suspension of its stock listing.
