During my 8 years based in Mexico City, I led the growth of the company from concept to execution of multiple first-of-a-kind BESS projects including storage-as-a-service contracts, UPS+BESS and solar+PV microgrid solutions. In addition to On.Energy, I am a founding partner of Repsa Energy Services, a solar sector subcontractor for some of the largest solar asset owners in Mexico. My experience includes: Contract negotiation (power purchase agreements, EPCs, shareholder agreements, LTSAs etc.), capital structuring (project finance, tax equity, IRA tax transfer, construction financing, permanent facilities), asset management (greenfield through operation), multiple equity capital raise rounds (friends/family, convertible notes, series A/B), financial modeling for corporate/project secured & non-recourse debt. I am fluent in Spanish and Portuguese with applied project experience working in both languages.
