What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a place where I can contribute what I’ve learned, keep learning, and grow with the company. I want to share ideas, take ownership and be thrown into the deep end, not just be another link in the chain. I also value flexibility, time for training and triathlons, great people around me, and the chance to build something meaningful

At MGPA ABOGADOS, I manage international business development, from prospecting and proposals through fee negotiation and client onboarding. I converted 15+ strategic relationships into long-term advisory mandates and implemented AI-enabled workflows that reduced manual workload by approximately 30%.

At MEOUCHI ABOGADOS, I lead commercial disputes and strategic advisory work. I structured a Mexico–Germany joint venture for market entry and directed an audit that generated MXN 12M in savings through process optimization and stronger internal controls.

At IGU ENERGY, I launched the company’s operations in Mexico and developed a cross-border project portfolio exceeding 5 GW. I also managed a 15-person cross-functional team and negotiated agreements for technical infrastructure projects. Earlier, at IGU ENERGY in Madrid, I secured more than €4M in EU funding for photovoltaic projects.
