About Me: I hold a double bachelors in Economics and Business Administration in Banking and Finance from Universidad Metropolitana, Venezuela.
Prior to joining LBS, I worked for over seven years at CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean, a regional development institution with over 21 shareholder countries and over US$200 billion invested in the last 25 years. As part of the structured finance team, I structured and managed project finance loans for infrastructure projects across Latin America, executed through public-private partnerships and private sector initiatives.
Motivated by my growth mindset, I embarked on a Masters in Finance at LBS, aiming to broaden my international experience and industry knowledge, while further developing my leadership profile. I am passionate about infrastructure investment and intend to continue addressing infrastructure challenges worldwide after graduating from LBS.
On a more personal note, I enjoy traveling and immersing myself in multicultural environments, exploring diverse cuisines while learning from different cultures.
Three topics I can be approached about: Infrastructure investments; being a woman in finance; living abroad.
