I secure energy projects through government relations, stakeholder strategy, and public policy.
What I'm looking for
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.
