Renewable energy consultant developing utility wind & pv plant and BESS projects.

I'm currently an Independent Energy Projects Consultant, advising on renewable energy projects, commercial and industrial self-consumption, and BESS. I support clients with project development, feasibility, and investment evaluation.

At Alten Renewable Energy, I managed business development and asset origination, securing a 1 GW photovoltaic project pipeline and achieving national portfolio expansion KPIs. I also directed commercial structuring and market-eligibility strategy for the portfolio.

For Alten's Puebla Project, I directed site origination and de-risking for a 250 MW photovoltaic project, negotiating and securing 1,069 hectares of land. I managed investment portfolios exceeding $700 million USD and negotiated land contracts, rights-of-way, and permits.

Earlier at Sowitec, I developed infrastructure projects, including a 200 MW photovoltaic project in Jalisco for which I secured 800 hectares of land. My background also includes geophysical engineering, technical field studies, and project management training.
