About
15+ years in oil & gas across Latin America with Schlumberger, Weatherford and Nabors — onshore and offshore, in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia. I have built sales organizations, launched service lines and grown long-term relationships with the region's main operators.
My technical home is directional drilling: MWD/LWD, rotary steerable systems, managed pressure drilling, tubular running services and rig automation. Since 2016 I have also been building software — a multi-tenant SaaS in production, algorithmic trading systems and AI agents. I bring both sides to energy companies that want to grow in the region and go digital.
