Senior geologist with over 22 years of experience in mineral exploration and operations, specializing in base metals (Cu, Au, Ag) and critical minerals (Li and REE). Extensive track record in brownfield and greenfield projects, contributing to resource growth, asset life extension, and value creation across various deposit types.

Have extensive experience in copper exploration with top-tier mining companies, holding regional responsibility for geochemistry across the Andean region (Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Argentina) and managing brownfield exploration at the project level. In recent years, I have broadened my focus to include saline and evaporitic systems enriched in lithium, boron, and potassium, integrating exploration with strategic assessment and commercialization.

Solid background in geochemistry, QA/QC, database management and integration, and technical evaluation of third-party projects.

Technical advisor to investment groups and stakeholders on the evaluation, structuring, and support of mining asset transactions (Cu, Li, REE, Co, Fe).
Researcher in the Geology program at Universidad del Desarrollo (UDD). Director, UDD Lithium 360 Forum

Currently serve as a technical advisor to the European Union Delegation on critical mineral supply strategies, while also collaborating with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to support public and institutional counterparts in understanding the mining ecosystem and its associated risks and opportunities.
