Connecting energy policy with international cooperation.
I'm a senior specialist with more than 16 years of global experience in international affairs and cooperation in the energy sector — from Mexico's Ministry of Energy to the World Bank's Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP).
About · Perfil
Policy, diplomacy, and the low-carbon economy
For more than 16 years I have worked at the intersection of energy policy and international cooperation: research on policies and best practices for transitioning to a low-carbon economy, decarbonization, and the deployment of emerging technologies such as green hydrogen.
My work spans Business-to-Government dialogue — advising international energy companies as they navigate the investment and policy landscape in emerging economies — as well as strategic engagement and donor coordination within multilateral institutions.
Career milestones include the U.S. State Department's International Visitor Leadership Program on renewable energy and climate change (2012), a Chevening Scholarship from the British Government (2015), and an Edward S. Mason Fellowship at Harvard Kennedy School. I served as Vice President of Chevening Alumni Mexico (2018–2020) and President of UCL Alumni Mexico (2019–2022).
