- McKinsey & Company (Senior Partner) - National Infrastructure Agency of Colombia (President)
I am an experienced leader with proven success designing and implementing large and complex programs in the private and public sectors. Most of my professional career was at McKinsey & Company. I retired as Director Emeritus from the firm in 2011 after 25 years. During that period, I chose to be mainly in entrepreneurial roles founding and building new offices in South America. I served clients across many sectors, including Financial Institutions, Telecommunications and Government. I left McKinsey to serve the Colombian Government. I saw the opportunity to give back to society in the founding of the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) and the launching of the most ambitious infrastructure program in the history of the country. ANI was created to structure, bid-out and supervise Public-Private-Partnerships. During my six-year tenure as President of ANI, more than 40 projects were awarded for a total investment amount exceeding $15 billion. Since 2018 I live in the United States and I am dedicated to active investment in Technology startups and advising high growth companies. During my free time I enjoy cycling and sailing.
