Alvaro Forero González
@alvaroforerogonzlez
I turn economic data and predictive models into strategic policy and business decisions.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered economic impact analysis, forecasting, and strategic reports for Colombia's Civil Aeronautics agency, including analyses of air cargo, seaplanes, U.S. tariffs, and unmanned aviation scenarios. I translate complex models and sector data into clear decisions for policy and institutional planning.
Across consulting and project leadership roles, I've built Python-based machine learning segmentation models, designed data-collection methodologies, and developed optimization and cost models that improved operating profitability by 20%. I bring applied microeconomics, econometrics, and long-term foresight to regulated, logistics, and public-sector challenges.
