Senior executive leading talent, culture, and transformation in mining and energy.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior executive with over 23 years of experience in the mining and energy sectors, where I combine mechanical engineering training with specialized expertise in supply chain, project management, human talent, and strategic leadership. I’ve led multidisciplinary, multicultural teams across Colombia, Argentina, and the broader Latin American region, with an empathetic, approachable style grounded in talent development and trust-based relationships.
Across my roles—from Director to Vice President—I’ve designed and executed enterprise culture frameworks, driven organizational transformation, and managed complex internal and union negotiations to deliver sustainable outcomes. Notable impact includes overhauling supply chain operations for efficiency and maintenance reliability, leading regional labor relations strategy, implementing leadership and succession programs across three countries, and delivering an SAP ERP go-live one month ahead of schedule while reducing projected costs by 35%. Today, I oversee corporate Talent and Communications strategy aligned with sustainability and growth, including digital transformation and organizational restructuring.
