Speaker Bio
I'm a Mechanical Engineer, with 18 years of experience in my field, in the renewable energy since 2005. I’m currently directing my career through the path of the Energy Management since 2009, with the participation in the creation of a Special Unit in Energy Management in my past company, CORPOELEC, in Venezuela. Also, I obtained the Certified Energy Management® Professional Certification, by the Association of Energy Engineers, and in 2017 I obtained the Renewable Energy Professional® certification. During these years, I participated in the development of various projects related to the efficient use of energy on industrial, commercial and domestic facilities, working from the “utility side”, helping customers (mainly high consumption customers like steel and aluminum mills) to develop projects and measures to reduce their energy consumption, as part of a government directive. Also, I’m holder of the Project Management Professional® international certification, and apply the PMI principles in my projects. I coordinated and executed many interdisciplinary projects that required the use of my skills in Mechanical Engineering, Project Management, and the interaction with different departments in my company and other companies (suppliers, contractors, etc.). Now, I’m living in Canada. One of my recent career milestones had been to be the first plant manager for Muskrat Falls, the most recent big hydroelectric development in Canada, and now I’m running my own consulting firm focused on engineering and project management consulting for Renewable Energy, Sustainability and Energy Efficiency projects, and initiatives.
