What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to apply my consulting toolkit in an industry setting—bringing analytical rigor to market-entry, regulatory, and commercial-strategy problems across the Americas while growing through impactful strategy work.

I’m a strategy consultant and Universidad de los Andes business graduate (Cum Laude) with experience leading market-entry, regulatory, and commercial-strategy projects across the Americas. I’ve built my edge on strong analytical and quantitative skills, and I’m trilingual in English, French, and Spanish.

At Arthur D. Little (Americas Hub), I’ve led strategy engagements for major Latin American mobile operators—covering go-to-market, regulatory framework design, business-case development, and cost modeling. I’ve supported a global pharmaceutical company on oncology portfolio optimization and clinical trial site selection, and I’ve delivered work across oil & gas, utilities, and renewables.

I’m also experienced in buy- and sell-side transaction advisory exceeding USD 4B in telecom, media, technology, and travel & transportation. Alongside consulting work, I served as a Teaching Assistant in Operations Management and a Junior Consultant at Consultandes, including a project that achieved a 5% reduction in total costs.
