New changes at the Dominican Port Authority: Julia Muñiz assumes the presidency
Within the framework of the recent administrative restructuring ordered by the Executive Branch, President Luis Abinader has formalized the appointment of Julia Luz Marina Muñiz Suberví as the new president of the Board of Directors of the Dominican Port Authority (APORDOM). This strategic move seeks to strengthen the operability and management of the national port system.
Muñiz Suberví arrives at this position with the goal of leading the entity’s administrative body, relieving Francisco Alejandro Campos Álvarez of his duties. The latter, in turn, has been promoted to the institution’s executive management, thus consolidating a new work team that seeks to provide continuity to the country’s port development plans.
Designation context
This series of changes responds to an internal reorganization within APORDOM, prompted by the departure of Jean Luis Rodríguez, who was recently appointed as Minister of Housing, Habitat and Buildings. With these adjustments, the Government seeks to ensure a smooth transition in one of the key institutions for Dominican foreign trade and logistics.
Professional background and profile
The new chair of the Board of Directors has a relevant track record in the public sector, specifically in areas linked to cross-border trade. Before taking on this new challenge, Muñiz Suberví stood out for her work at the General Directorate of Customs (DGA), where she contributed her experience in the logistical and regulatory field.
- She served as head of the Department of Negotiation and International Relations at the DGA since August 2020.
- Her technical profile is closely linked to foreign trade operations, which is fundamental for the management of port terminals.
- Her transition to APORDOM is considered a natural step given her previous experience in facilitating customs operations.
The arrival of Julia Muñiz Suberví to the Board of Directors, along with the appointment of Francisco Alejandro Campos Álvarez as executive director, marks a new stage in the management of the Dominican Port Authority, focused on efficiency and competitiveness.
