Fives FCB USA Inc. appointed three “highly experienced professionals” to help structure its local operations and accelerate its development in North America: Geovanni Calderon as chief technical officer, Matt Devitt as business development director and Jeff Sharratt, in charge of services.
Calderon combines hands-on production leadership with extensive commissioning and site management experience, as he previously served as production manager at Cementos Moctezuma for five years, and then spent 17 years at Fives FCB as commissioning manager and site manager. His deep knowledge of Fives technologies and recent focus on energy optimization at Cemex USA as corporate energy manager make him a key asset to lead technical excellence and operational efficiency.
With 20 years of experience in both plant operations as process engineer and industrial gas treatment technologies with technical, commercial and operational roles, Devitt brings a unique dual perspective that bridges technical expertise and customer needs. His deep involvement in the Cement Industrial Committee (CIC) and IEEE-ACA Conferences positions him as a strategic connector, capable of driving business growth through industry insight and trusted relationships.
Lastly, Sharratt brings 30 years of experience, including 10 years as production manager at American Gypsum and Vicat, 10 years at FLSmidth as services sales manager, and 10 years as field project manager and construction site manager. His understanding of plant operations and service needs enables him to offer tailored solutions that enhance performance, reliability, and long-term value for our clients.
“These strategic appointments reflect Fives’ commitment to providing expert, responsive, and local support to cement, concrete, SCM’s beneficiation and minerals industry players across the country,” the company stated.
Fives FCB, the cement and minerals subsidiary of Fives, launched Fives FCB USA Inc. in May.
