I have been with Pan American Energy since 2004. I currently serve as Operations Specialist Engineer – Process & Quality – Neuquén Business Unit. From 2020 to 2026, I served as Oil and Gas Operations Leader for the Neuquén Business Unit. During that period, I led the start-up of all oil and gas plants, along with the transportation and custody transfer systems; we formed and consolidated the operational teams at each facility and centralized operations from a single control room, within the framework of unconventional development. The result was a team with a strong focus on process safety and critical operations, featuring efficient management and robust operational performance standards. Previously, I was in charge of gas operations at the Golfo San Jorge Production Unit, where I established the Fitness-for-Service department and served as Senior Mechanical Project Engineer. I presented papers at the CCPS Latin American conferences (2011 and 2015) and received the Best Paper Award at the IAPG Technical Conference (2013).
