What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead government, corporate, or external affairs strategies that reduce regulatory barriers, protect operations, strengthen stakeholder trust, and enable sustainable energy investment and growth.

I've secured permits, social license, and regulatory certainty for energy projects at geff - generation efficiency. I reduced regulatory friction by 25% through technical dialogue with SENER and environmental authorities while protecting capital investments through ESG reporting aligned with GRI, SASB, and TCFD.

At Iniciativa Energía SC, I expanded the Latin American portfolio by 30% through cross-border joint ventures in Peru, Colombia, El Salvador, and Honduras. I also secured international funding with UNDP and GIZ for energy-efficiency sustainability programs.

My public-sector experience includes coordinating unanimous approval of a $9 billion tax and revenue package at the Ministry of Finance, State of Mexico, and improving spending efficiency and transparency by 18% through results-based budgeting.

Across PEMEX, IMSS, TÜV NORD, and energy-sector leadership roles, I've led stakeholder engagement, corporate communications, crisis and reputation management, sustainability initiatives, and policy advocacy to protect operations, reduce risks, and enable growth.
