Q COSTARICA — The Board of Directors of the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE) on April 9, just one month before Laura Fernández’s government takes office, dismissed its General Manager, Harold Cordero.
Cordero’s dismissal takes effect today, April 10. According to the information, ICE’s Executive President, Marco Acuña, will assume the General Management on an interim basis starting April 12.
“ICE thanks Mr. Cordero Villalobos for his dedication, effort, and contributions during his tenure, and wishes him every success in his future endeavors,” the statement reads.
Cordero assumed the General Manager position in October 2022, following a selection process conducted by an external consulting firm.
The statement does not detail the reasons for his dismissal, only that the Institute will begin an “internal selection” process to appoint the next General Manager.
