Jose Rivera to Step Down as CSIA CEO

Feb. 27, 2025
How will the leadership transition influence CSIA’s policies and industry advocacy?

Jose Rivera will be stepping down as CEO of Controls System Integrators Association (CSIA) after ten years of leadership, Control wrote in a news brief.

Under Rivera’s decade-long leadership, CSIA modernized its operations, enhanced financial stability and strengthened industry resilience—critical factors for system integrators navigating evolving automation challenges. His tenure also saw CSIA adapt to significant disruptions, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring that member businesses remained robust.

As Rivera prepares to step down later this year, the organization’s continued stability and commitment to empowering system integrators will be a key focus for engineers who rely on CSIA’s best practices and certification programs.

The selection of a new CEO will be a pivotal moment for automation professionals, as it will shape CSIA’s future direction and potential impact on the industry. Control detailed more on the search for a new CEO in this full article.
