Fabio will be remembered for growing ICONTEC into a dynamic standards and certification organization.
He helped build Colombia into a strong force in International Standardization and for 20 years he represented the country at ISO, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT), the Pacific Area Standards Congress (PASC) and the International Certification Network (IQNet).
He was particularly inspirational in his work with ISO's Policy Committee for Developing Countries (ISO/DEVCO) where he led a number of projects focusing on how developing countries could better participate in International Standardization.
But Fabio will also be remembered as a charismatic man, with much energy, passion and kindness, and a good sense of humour. The entire ISO community is missing a friend, and our thoughts go out to his family at this difficult time.
