Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Accomplished energy professional with over 25 years of experience in gas, power, and energy markets across South America, working for leading companies in the sector. I bring a proven track record in origination, market analysis, and regulatory strategy — combining deep technical knowledge with strong commercial insight and leadership. My experience includes ownership of gas transportation strategy — from contracting to P&L integration — ensuring alignment with GSA pricing structures and cost optimization. I have actively influenced the regulated contractual framework, promoting the adoption of favourable clauses — such as short-term agreements — and preventing unfavourable provisions, including imbalance penalties. Through active regulatory advocacy in IBP, ATGas, and CdU, I influence transportation cost structures and contribute to the evolution of Brazil’s gas regulatory framework. I have also led the development of new gas business opportunities, negotiated complex gas sales agreements, and built independent market intelligence and analytical models that enhance commercial decision-making and long-term planning. Recognized for leading cross-functional, multi-country teams, mentoring junior professionals, and influencing industry standards, I combine technical rigor, commercial acumen, and strategic influence to deliver value in complex, regulated energy markets. Currently offering support via consulting and advisory services where I can leverage my experience in gas origination, transportation strategy, and regulatory advocacy to help companies optimize commercial and regulatory outcomes.
