What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in process safety or HSE leadership where I can drive PSM implementation, mentor teams, lead technical projects, and contribute to organizational safety culture and continuous improvement.

I am a senior process safety and reliability engineer with over 20 years of experience leading safety, risk and integrity programs across transnational companies in Latin America and worldwide. I hold advanced degrees in Safety Engineering and Business Administration and bring bilingual communication and technical expertise to complex, high‑stakes environments.

My core strengths include Process Safety Management audits, HAZOP/LOPA facilitation, consequence modeling (Phast, FLACS), mechanical integrity and reliability studies, and incident investigation. I have led implementation of HSE and PSM systems, developed new service lines, and delivered projects for oil & gas, mining and industrial clients.

I am a results-driven leader who builds and motivates teams, manages contracts and projects, and presents at industry forums. I continuously pursue professional development and contribute to the field through publications and conference leadership.
