Summary

International consultant and strategic advisor with over 15 years of experience across three interconnected domains: ESG & Sustainability, Global Compliance (Legal & Regulatory Affairs), and Public Affairs & International Relations. I work as a trusted partner for organizations, both as founder of coexist and as an independent consultant, helping companies, institutions, and NGOs design and implement ESG strategies, navigate global compliance, and anticipate international regulatory and political changes. In ESG and Sustainability, I have led carbon footprint reporting (Scopes 1, 2, and 3), CSRD-aligned disclosures, Net Zero strategies, circular economy programs, biodiversity protection, and energy transition projects. I combine technical expertise with the ability to design integrated ESG strategies that connect impact measurement with corporate value creation. In Compliance and Legal & Regulatory Affairs, I bring expertise in corporate law, international contracts, and governance frameworks. I have implemented compliance systems under ISO standards (14001, 26000, 50001, 37301) and supported multinational organizations with REACH, CEPA, SFDR, CSRD, CSDDD, SEC Climate Disclosure, IFRS and ISSB. Beyond ESG, I advise on financial, digital, and cybersecurity compliance frameworks, including DORA, banking regulations, anti-money laundering (AML), data protection (GDPR), and cybersecurity directives. I also cover global frameworks such as SEC, EPA and California regulations (USA), UK REACH and FCA standards, China's chemical and ESG frameworks, Japan's sustainability disclosure rules, and emerging ESG and compliance legislation in Latin America. This global approach ensures resilience, legal certainty, and competitive advantage for organizations operating internationally. In Public Affairs & International Relations, I have worked with the European Parliament, international organizations, and governments, contributing to international policy agendas, SDG implementation, and high-level institutional relations. With professional experience across Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America, I help organizations anticipate political, legal, and social changes and align with global frameworks. Today, as founder of coexist, advisor to global ESG organizations, board member of international initiatives, and freelance consultant, I remain committed to building strategies that generate measurable impact, reinforce governance, and deliver sustainable long-term value.
