About Integra

I bring over a decade of experience in international business development across the mining, energy, infrastructure, and cleantech sectors, with a strong record of facilitating cross-border investments and building strategic partnerships between governments, industry, and academia.

Before joining Integra Cleantech, I served as Business Development Director at the Australian Trade & Investment Commission (Austrade) and held roles with Export Development Canada (EDC) and the Canadian Trade Commissioner Service in Colombia, where I supported companies in developing market-entry strategies, identifying business opportunities, and strengthening bilateral collaboration.

I am passionate about research, innovation, and the role of technology in mitigating the environmental impact of the resources and energy sectors. 

I aim to connect key stakeholders—industry, government, and academia—to scale solutions that advance industrial decarbonization and the energy transition.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the National University of Colombia.

I am deeply convinced of clean energy's crucial role in promoting societal well-being, progress, and innovation. As an analytical thinker, I am driven to identify opportunities and develop data-backed, efficient, and sustainable alternatives for a brighter future.

Over 18 years, I've excelled in analyzing energy policies, regulations, fuel markets, supply planning, and evaluating energy transition strategies, particularly within transportation.

My academic background includes a Chemical Engineering degree (National University of Colombia), a Master's in Renewable Energy Management (University of Barcelona), a Master's in Regulation (University of Los Andes, Colombia), and a Data Analytics Diploma (Douglas College, Canada). 

With over a decade of experience advancing climate solutions, environmental research, and sustainability initiatives across academia, government, and industry, with a strong record of translating research into practical, community-based action.

Before joining Integra Cleantech, I served as Program Manager at the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS), where I led transdisciplinary programs focused on applied research, implementation, and capacity building. I managed multi-million-dollar funding portfolios, coordinated projects across institutions, and worked with Indigenous organizations, governments, communities, and university partners to co-develop locally grounded solutions and strengthen regional capacity.

At Integra Cleantech, I support the commercialization and deployment of clean technologies in emerging Latin American markets and remote communities, collaborating with innovators and local partners to design and implement context-specific pilot projects.

 I am committed to advancing climate solutions that respect Indigenous knowledge, build local capacity, and deliver equitable outcomes. 

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Geological Engineering and dual Master’s degrees in Environmental Engineering and Environmental Health Science.

I am an electrical engineer with more than 40 years of experience in the elctric utility sector. My interest is promoting the development of clean technologies and renewable energy in Colombia and the LATAM region, and helping customers access the right technologies for their projects and initiatives. I look forward to offering competitive solutions to our customers so that we can share the benefits of clean technologies with the society as a whole.  

With over 15 years of progressive experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, and supply chain leadership within the electronics manufacturing and industrial sectors, I bring a results-driven and collaborative approach to advancing sustainable, high-performance solutions in the cleantech industry, including through my role at Integra Cleantech.

My career has been defined by leading cross-functional teams to optimize supply chain efficiency, negotiate competitive pricing, and implement lean processes that drive measurable cost savings and operational improvements. I have extensive expertise in supplier relationship management, centralized procurement, and global sourcing strategies—skills essential for supporting growth and innovation in renewable energy and clean technology markets.

At the intersection of technical understanding and business strategy, I excel in aligning supply chain initiatives with organizational goals, ensuring that quality, cost, and delivery objectives are met or exceeded. Leveraging my experience with Oracle systems, advanced planning methodologies, and supplier performance programs, I am committed to building resilient, ethical, and sustainable supply chains that reflect the cleantech sector’s commitment to environmental stewardship and long-term value creation.

My focus is on strengthening supplier networks, optimizing sourcing strategies, and contributing to the company’s vision of enabling a cleaner, smarter future through operational excellence and strategic partnerships.  

I am a technology innovator and researcher dedicated to applying artificial intelligence and machine learning to the world’s most pressing sustainability challenges. 

With over 30 years of experience in software engineering and applied research, I’ve focused my career on building intelligent systems that support clean technology

innovation, emissions reduction, and smarter energy use.

My journey began in software development, where I built early expert systems and AI-powered tools long before the current wave of machine learning adoption. Over the years, I’ve directed my expertise toward Cleantech consulting—developing advanced algorithms and platforms that address key challenges in energy monitoring, electric vehicle infrastructure, and demand-side energy optimization. 

In addition to my technical work, I serve as an Adjunct Professor and Senior Research Scientist, with a strong publication record in computational sustainability and open data. I’ve led several interdisciplinary collaborations across academia, industry, and government to accelerate Cleantech innovation through data science. I am also the Founding Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Data Descriptions.

I believe that AI has a vital role to play in the Cleantech transition. My mission is to ensure that intelligent systems are designed not only to be technically robust, but also to support  actionable climate solutions.  
 

I have a proven record of helping launch high impact products, brands, and initiatives across cleantech, the public sector, and venture backed startups. I do this by bridging design thinking, brand development, and strategic execution, supporting boards, executives, and managers alike in aligning visual identity with growth. 

Recently I've led projects at ZEIC (Zero Emissions Innovation Centre), as well as its multiple program areas such as ZEBx, B2E and CLF BC, all in the clean-future space. 

A former British military officer with operational command experience, I bring a focused, decisive approach to complex challenges. I’ve led organizations through major scaling cycles, including with Terminal.io, where I helped expand U.S. tech companies into Canada. I hold certifications in executive coaching and digital design and apply a sharp, design led mindset to every engagement.

I am a passionate environmentalist entering the sustainability field with a BSc in Environmental Science and a Master of Environment and Sustainability (in progress) from Western University.

My background includes working as a Research Assistant, where I organized research projects, designed learning materials, and communicated across teams of researchers and Indigenous community members. During my master's, I completed a consulting project developing a new nature-based education framework for the Canadian Wildlife Federation — giving me hands-on experience translating complex ideas into real-world solutions.

I'm now bringing those research and communication skills into the clean tech sector, with a keen interest in creating work that drives meaningful environmental impact.
