I work with executive teams and boards on the analysis and decision-making, in contexts where strategy, regulation and institutional factors intersect with the business.
She simplifies complex problems, gets to the heart of the issue and separates what matters from what does not.
Complex decisions are not resolved by looking at a single dimension. They unfold at the intersection of strategy, regulation and institutional context.
With over 20 years in legal and executive roles in highly complex environments — energy, mining and infrastructure — my practice was built from within: as General Counsel of the Coordinador Eléctrico Nacional and in senior roles at BHP and Carey, across Chile, Latin America and the United States. Today I advise from the outside, with the distance and judgment that allows.
I advise on decisions where knowing the rule is not enough. What makes the difference is reading the full context, structuring tensions, identifying what matters most and helping the organization take a position with judgment, timing and institutional awareness.
I work with executive teams and boards on building and reading scenarios for high-uncertainty decisions. The focus is not on predicting, but on structuring the variables that matter, anticipating consequences and broadening the field of vision before committing to a course of action.
I work with boards on complex decisions, bringing experience in highly regulated environments and a perspective shaped by board practice as well.
A relevant part of the work is integrating strategy with the environment in which the decision is made, including alignment with key actors and leading conversations that allow the decision to hold over time.
Advisory on the design and strengthening of governance structures, authority frameworks, conflict management, reporting lines and decision spaces, so that governance works in practice and not only on paper.
I work on decisions where reading the regulation is not enough. It also matters to understand the environment, build bridges across actors with different logics and sustain complex conversations with legitimacy.
“She simplifies complex problems, gets to the heart of the issue and separates what matters from what does not.”
“She has the ability to assess the full picture before deciding, which reduces anxiety and builds confidence.”
“A strategic and decisive leader, capable of handling critical challenges.”
“The best person to have by your side when looking for solutions in complex contexts.”
Everything starts by understanding the real situation, not the one described in the first email. Before proposing, I take time to read the context and locate where the decision really lies.
Mandates with a defined scope or ongoing low-friction advisory. In both cases, the dialogue is direct, without intermediary teams or layers.
The value lies not only in analysis, but in the ability to take a position. I bring a full reading of the situation and the judgment needed to move forward, sustaining it until the decision is made. The format — conversation, document or presentation — depends on the mandate.
In demanding organizations, the pace of day-to-day work leaves little room to stop and see the full picture. I contribute from the outside a view that complements internal knowledge and helps structure the decision.
This experience comes from real decisions involving critical infrastructure, regional expansion, strategic contracts and environments where regulation, operations and governance could not be viewed separately.
I advised decision-making in tender processes for critical infrastructure linked to the energy transition, in a context of high regulatory exposure and multiple actors with different incentives.
The challenge was not technical or legal in itself, but structuring a decision in which operational, regulatory and institutional variables intersected, with systemic implications.
My role was to structure that decision process, anticipate risks and align with regulators and key actors so complex projects could continue moving forward in a highly uncertain environment.
OutcomeCritical infrastructure projects continued moving forward in an adverse regulatory environment, with systemic risks contained and relationships with regulators preserved.
I advised the definition and execution of market entry strategy across the region, in a long-term exploration and expansion context.
The decision required integrating legal, operational and local stakeholder variables across different institutional settings and with significant levels of uncertainty.
My contribution was to advise from an integrated perspective, structuring legal strategy as an enabler of the business decision rather than a later-stage element.
OutcomeEntry into new markets was executed with legal and operational architecture integrated from the outset, avoiding late-stage corrections and decisions driven by urgency.
I advised the review of contractual and dispute resolution strategy in strategic supply contracts, in a context of significant economic exposure.
The challenge was to redefine a position that directly affected significant costs for the organization, with operational and reputational implications.
My role was to contribute to an integrated legal, operational and negotiation strategy that allowed the organization to reposition itself and secure meaningful improvements in contractual terms.
OutcomeThe organization was repositioned with strategic counterparties and achieved a material improvement in its contractual terms.
