DP World Santos announces Fábio Siccherino as new CEO

On February 1st, DP World Santos announced a change in the organization’s structure: Fábio Medrano Siccherino, current Commercial and Institutional Relations Director, will assume the position of Chief Executive Officer as of April 1, 2021.

In his seven years of experience at DP World Santos, Siccherino was at the forefront of the terminal’s commercial agenda, achieving outstanding performance with the partnership signed with Suzano in 2017 which led to the construction and operation of the largest pulp complex in the country.

Over the years, he has also played a fundamental role in the process of positioning DP World Santos as a multi-purpose terminal, seeking alternative solutions to container handling. This proved to be a wise move and significantly increased the company’s revenue.

Since 2020, Siccherino has also been responsible for the terminal’s Institutional Relations agenda. With a degree in Chemical Engineering from Faculty of Industrial Engineering (FEI), an MBA in Logistics from Coppead Institute, and a Masters in Supply Chain from Fundação Getúlio Vargas (FGV), the executive has gleaned over 24 years of experience in Supply Chain and in the development of multimodal projects in Brazil and abroad.

His predecessor, Australian Dallas Hampton, held the position of CEO of the terminal for just over three years. He will leave his position at the end of this month – also ending his professional activities – after more than 30 years dedicated to the port sector gained in several countries around the world.

Hampton arrived in Brazil in November 2017, during the transition from the old Embraport to DP World Santos, with the challenge of consolidating a new organizational culture and making internal processes more solid and aligned with the DP World Group’s vision and purpose.

Hampton achieved good financial results and operating records for the company, leaving behind the consolidation of DP World Santos as a multi-purpose terminal, an alternative option to container handling, which has added important additional revenues for the company.
