About me: I was born in Chile’s capital of Santiago. I then moved to the countryside and lived there until I was 11 and later embarked on an international adventure living in Kunming, China, and Morgan Hill, California, US.
After graduating, I worked for more than three years as a Business Analyst for McKinsey & Company in its Santiago office. I had experience working in banking, telecommunications, loyalty programmes, retail, M&A, mining, renewable energy and oil and gas decarbonisation. These projects were focused on Chile, Peru, Argentina and Poland. I then worked for a year for a renewable energy development, construction and operations company based in Chile and Colombia, focusing on financing, deal structuring and strategy.
I chose LBS for the flexibility of the MBA programme, the strengths of its clubs and the diversity of students.
During my time on the MBA, I aim to be a big contributor in the Energy and Infrastructure sectors and club.
Three topics I can be approached for: Management consulting; energy; studying with a partner.
