AAPA announces new Executive President in Latin America

The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) has appointed Juan Duarte as the first Latin American to serve as Executive President of AAPA in Latin America.

Duarte comes to the head of AAPA Latin America after his role as CEO of DUAGA, a consultancy in the port sector in Latin America, and his active participation in the AAPA Professional Development Board in the United States, where he has contributed to the development of the training strategy for the new generation of port directors.

AAPA Latin America plans to intensify its coordination and cooperation work with strategic actors such as the Inter-American Commission on Ports of the OAS (CIP/OAS), a natural ally in the development of the port sector in Latin America, among other logistics associations and port councils in the different countries of Latin America.

Juan Duarte, new Executive President of AAPA Latam, stated, “We are facing the return of the AAPA Latam Family, which represents the rebirth of the organization in the region, with the objective of strengthening the competitiveness of our ports and logistics companies, strengthening ties of cooperation and continuing to be key players in the economic development of Latin America.”

Cary Davis, President and CEO of AAPA in the United States, noted, “We are excited about the potential that this reconstitution brings and we look forward to seeing the impact that Juan Duarte and his team will achieve.”
