Gantrex CFO Xavier Deedene Wins CF’Hope of the Year Award 2025

A Strategic Leader Honored for His Vision, Impact, and Team-Centered Approach

At Gantrex, we are proud to announce that our Group Chief Financial Officer, Xavier Deedene, has been named CF’Hope of the Year 2025 by Trends Tendances magazine. This prestigious award recognizes emerging leaders in the finance world who demonstrate exceptional strategic thinking, measurable impact, and the ability to inspire and lead teams through complex business landscapes.

Xavier was selected for his strategic impact on Gantrex’s growth and financial stability. Over the past few years, he has played a central role in reinforcing our long-term financial structure, enabling Gantrex to continue expanding across the globe while remaining resilient in an ever-evolving economic environment. His forward-looking vision has helped position Gantrex as a financially sound and trusted partner in the industrial rail solutions sector.

What set Xavier apart wasn’t just his results — it was his focus on people. Throughout the nomination and award process, he consistently credited the strength and expertise of the teams around him. He believes that sustainable success comes not from individual achievement alone, but from empowering those you work with — a value that resonates strongly at Gantrex.

“I’m honored to receive this award, but I see it first and foremost as recognition of the incredible work and collaboration across our finance and leadership teams. This is a shared success,” Xavier said.

 

At Gantrex, we often speak about the expertise of our teams on the ground — our engineers, installers, and technical experts who deliver world-class solutions to ports, shipyards, steel plants, and beyond. But expertise runs through every layer of our organization, including finance. It’s thanks to leaders like Xavier that we can maintain our commitment to excellence, innovation, and stability — ensuring that our customers can trust Gantrex, today and in the future.

We also take a moment to congratulate all the other winners recognized by Trends Tendances and thank the Trends/Canal Z team for organizing such a memorable event.
