Ducab, a UAE-based energy solutions provider, has appointed Matteo Bavaresco as its new Group Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, as the company looks to accelerate its regional and international growth strategy.
Bavaresco succeeds Gert Hoefman, who has served as Interim Group CEO over the past year. Hoefman will continue to support the company’s long-term strategic direction in his role as a member of Ducab’s Board of Directors.
The leadership transition comes as Ducab continues to expand its global presence, with operations now reaching 75 countries beyond its home market in the UAE.
Bavaresco brings more than 25 years of international leadership experience across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions. Prior to joining Ducab, he served as CEO of an international cable company. His expertise spans organisational transformation, business growth, public-private partnerships, and the development of high-performing teams.
Commenting on the transition, Gert Hoefman said it had been a privilege to lead Ducab during the past year and expressed confidence in Bavaresco’s ability to guide the company through its next phase of growth. He noted that Bavaresco’s extensive experience in the global cable industry and organisational transformation positions him well to strengthen Ducab’s competitiveness in international markets.
Matteo Bavaresco said he was honoured to join Ducab at a pivotal time for both the company and the global energy sector. He highlighted Ducab’s reputation for engineering excellence, its commitment to sustainable energy solutions, and its contribution to the UAE’s industrial development. He added that he looks forward to working with the company’s teams to drive innovation, strengthen partnerships, and create long-term value for customers and communities.
Ducab said the leadership appointment reinforces its commitment to expanding its international footprint while continuing to invest in innovation and sustainable energy solutions. With Bavaresco leading the organisation and Hoefman providing strategic guidance through the Board, the company aims to capitalise on new growth opportunities across global energy markets.
