I grow energy transition portfolios — turning conceptual projects into bankable business opportunities

Executive advisor with 25+ years maturing LNG, hydrogen, and renewable energy projects to financial close and FID. Project finance, JV structuring, and portfolio governance. Spain, Europe, and Latin America.

About me.

​I am an energy-transition leader and former executive with more than 25 years of experience maturing energy projects — from early development through project financing close and FID — across LNG and renewable gases.

Today, I work as an independent advisor helping energy companies and investors mature projects to financial close — combining commercial structuring, financial modelling, and portfolio governance with the operational discipline to execute at scale.

I help operate with clarity, resilience and discipline — especially in changing and uncertain contexts, when resources are constrained and stakes are high.

My work is about applying operational discipline, value delivery, systems thinking and people leadership where they matter most.

I am an ICF-trained coach and work fluently in Spanish, English, and French.

How I help

01.

Portfolio governance & value delivery

I design stage-gate frameworks, scoring models, and governance rhythms for multi-technology development portfolios — so capital goes to the right projects and more of them reach FID.

02.

Joint-venture & commercial structuring

I advise on JV shareholders' agreements, partner negotiations, and offtake structuring — drawing on direct experience closing a $2.25bn LNG project financing and governing the resulting partnership.

03.

Project finance & financial close

I help developers structure projects for bankability — financial modelling, lender engagement, and the commercial structuring needed to take a project from development to financial close and FID.

04.

Operating models for scaling organisations

I build the PMOs, decision processes, and operational infrastructure that energy companies need to execute consistently as they scale from developer to operator or IPP.
