Horacio Rossi from Mott MacDonald

Horacio is responsible for LATAM and Key investor’s accounts for Mott MacDonald’s aviation division.

With 42 years of experience as a civil engineer, of which 38 in the airport’s domain, during the last 25 years he has been involved in aviation PPPs across several continents.

His experience ranges from delivering a greenfield airport, planning, design and construction to infrastructure PPP advisory and business plans, adding value by applying the knowledge and experience gained from being responsible for P&L while operating and managing a cluster of seven regional Airports.

In addition to roles as an aviation expert for the EU Commission grant aid programs and ICAO Technical Cooperation Bureau, he has led technical advisory projects for governments, lenders and investors while working for UK based companies Halcrow, Ch2M Hill and Mott MacDonald.

 

In Memoriam

In 2020, Canning House has regretted to announce the deaths of two of our long-standing Honorary Vice-Presidents, and former Honorary Presidents, David Montgomery, Viscount Montgomery of Alamein CMG CBE, and Lord Tristan Garel-Jones.

David Montgomery

He served as Honorary President from 1987 to 1994, and Honorary Vice-President for the remainder of his life. His range of connections both at home and abroad contributed significantly to the work of Canning House.
