St Gallen, Switzerland
I lead global businesses at the intersection of energy transformation and operational excellence. With two decades of experience spanning Oil & Gas, Mining, Power, and Nuclear sectors, I focus on building sustainable growth through strategic partnerships and high-performing teams. Currently a Senior Vice President at Hilti Group, I oversee our Global Energy portfolio across multiple continents. My approach combines long-term strategic thinking with disciplined execution, working closely with C-suite executives and global EPCs to deliver complex projects that shape the future of energy infrastructure. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of leading multicultural teams, developing talent, and creating value in dynamic, matrix-driven environments. I'm particularly passionate about the energy transition, balancing traditional energy reliability with the imperative of sustainable innovation. My experience spans the full spectrum of the energy value chain, from early-stage market development to large-scale project execution. I believe the most impactful work happens at the intersection of technical expertise, commercial acumen, and genuine partnership. I'm fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, with conversational German, a reflection of my global career journey from Latin America to Europe and across emerging markets. Always interested in connecting with fellow executives, industry leaders, and those passionate about the future of energy and natural resources
