Can you describe your role and what it entails day-to-day?
I manage and support offshore wind projects at various stages of development — from bid strategy and advisory through to successful auction outcomes, as well as design and engineering phases.
In addition, I bring experience as a risk manager, working both as an integrated team member and as an external advisor. Beyond project delivery, I greatly enjoying business development and being able to offer existing and new client’s tailor-made solutions for any challenge – whether in established markets or emerging territories. Helping clients navigate complex landscapes is both rewarding and exciting.
What first sparked you interest in the renewable sector?
I have been working in the energy sector for 11 years and with my background in chemical engineering, project management and business, I felt inspired to try to contribute to the energy transition. I am passionate about working on projects that have a great impact on communities, countries and regions, and that will support new generations in terms of energy access and development of capabilities.
Are there any emerging technologies or innovations in geotechnical engineering that excite you?
I’m passionate about the growth of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) projects, recognizing their vital role in storing renewable energy and enhancing energy access by improving reliability, efficiency, and sustainability.
As BD advisor for LATAM and the Caribbean, what does the future of energy and oceans look like in the region?
We have seen more development of offshore wind projects in countries like Colombia where OWC is currently supporting a prominent client with OSW services. We have also recently seen more progress on the OSW agenda in the Caribbean. There are definitely opportunities for international and experienced players in OSW in the region, however the appropriate business conditions need to be provided for these projects to be successful.
Why should people join ABL Group on stand B47 at this year’s Seanergy – anything you’re looking forward to?
ABL is a global consultancy with expert teams covering all marine services.
For offshore wind, we’re excited to showcase the full range of OWC services and connect with developers, suppliers, financial consultants, insurers, and service providers.
