I’m an economist with over 20 years of international experience in finance, corporate strategy, restructuring, and governance. I’ve worked on high-impact projects across Latin America, the U.S., and Europe — helping companies navigate crises, strengthen controls, and recover value with integrity and strategic insight.

Beyond the boardroom, I’m a certified PADI Scuba Instructor, Emergency First Response Instructor, and Radio Operator, with over 3,000 logged dives. I’ve taught specialized training courses for U.S. Special Forces, the Coast Guard, and served as a volunteer in disaster relief and youth mentorship programs.
