Summary

With 13 years in the oil & gas industry, I've had the privilege of gaining both technical and business insights, supported by an engineering background and an MBA. I've contributed to projects in Argentina's key unconventional assets like Loma Campana, Bandurria Sur, and La Amarga Chica, where I've learned the value of a balanced, comprehensive approach to problem-solving. My engineering experience has given me the practical skills needed for operational decision-making, while my MBA has broadened my understanding of strategic planning. I appreciate the opportunity for multidisciplinary collaboration and look forward to applying these experiences in a role focused on new business development.
