Maria Segui Gomez (born September 4, 1967) is a Spanish physician and Public Health expert. She led the Directorate-General for Traffic until she resigned over an accusation of conflict of interest which was later found to be groundless.
Segui was born in Barcelona in 1967. She studied for a degree in Medicine and General Surgery at the University of Barcelona, where she later completed a master's degree in Public Health. Segui also has a master's and doctorate in Sciences in Health Policy from Harvard University.[1]
Segui taught at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, which presided over the European Center for Injury Prevention. It was announced on 22 July 2011 that she had been appointed as Director General of Public Health, Substance Abuse and Consumer Affairs of the Government of Castilla-La Mancha.[2] In February 2012, she was appointed general director of the Directorate-General for Traffic replacing Pere Navarro Olivella.[3]
