Hall of Fame Executive Team

Developed Europe
2026
July 9, 2026

It remains a difficult feat to gain entry into Extel’s Developed Europe and Emerging EMEA Executive Team Halls of Fame.

The region’s CEOs, CFOs, and IROs must earn more than five #1 rankings in Extel’s annual Executive Team survey. Only two have managed to make it to that rarified air this year—Florian Fuchs of Fraport, the German transport company, and Gregoire Thibault of VINCI, the French concessions and construction company. Both are being recognized for their achievements as IROs where authority, credibility and business and market knowledge is paramount.
