BrandSafway, a global leader in access and speciality services, has announced Gabriel McCabe’s appointment as its new President and CEO, effective January 1, 2025. 

The announcement follows the planned retirement of current CEO Karl Fessenden, who will step down at the end of 2024 after successfully leading the company through a period of substantial growth.

McCabe, who is currently serving as President of BrandSafway’s North America division, will work closely with Fessenden on a transition plan before officially assuming his new role. 

With a decade of leadership experience at BrandSafway, McCabe has previously held several senior positions, including President of the Industrial, Energy & Commercial Division, International Division President, and Forming & Shoring. 

Before joining BrandSafway, McCabe spent over 22 years in global operational and management roles at General Electric.

The company’s board, chaired by John Krenicki, expressed full confidence in McCabe’s leadership capabilities. Krenicki highlighted McCabe’s focus on safety, operational excellence, and his ability to align with BrandSafway’s strategic goals as essential to maintaining the company’s market leadership.

“We are grateful to Karl Fessenden for his exceptional leadership and dedication, which has helped establish a solid foundation for the company’s future,” Krenicki added.

Incoming CEO McCabe emphasised his commitment to continuing BrandSafway’s long-standing tradition of safety and innovation. “I am honoured to lead BrandSafway through the next chapter of our journey,” McCabe said. 

“We will continue to build solutions, create exciting career paths for our teams, and lead with innovation across the industry. I am thankful for Karl’s mentorship and the strong foundation he has built.”

BrandSafway, which serves industrial, commercial, and infrastructure markets worldwide, has a history spanning over 100 years. The company remains committed to driving growth and maintaining its leadership in the sector under McCabe’s direction.
