Spain: Fernando Eiroa Appointed Parques Reunidos Group’s New CEO

Spain-based Parques Reunidos Group, which currently operates 55 leisure parks across twelve countries, recently announced that Fernando Eiroa has taken over the position of Chief Executive Officer of the group with effect from February 1, 2016. Eiroa, aged 51, replaces the former CEO Yann Caillère (63 years), who led the business during the past two years and now decided to step down, given the longer-term commitment required in the context of a targeted IPO of the company. However, Caillère will continue to support the Parques Reunidos Group as a Senior Advisor and will also pursue other non-executive roles.

Since 2007, Fernando Eiroa has served as President and CEO at Palace Entertainment, the US subsidiary business of Parques Reunidos. Previously, he had held the position of the Group’s Chief Operating Officer for three years. Prior to joining Parques Reunidos, he was Country Manager at Best 4 Cell. (eap)
