Lecturer
Over the past two decades, I have built a diverse academic career as a lecturer in environmental engineering, sustainability, and renewable energy across leading Colombian universities.
I design experiential learning environments—combining technical rigor with real-world project insights—helping students connect environmental science, engineering innovation, and sustainable finance.
Institution: Continuing Education Universidad de los Andes – Executive Education, Business Administration Program
In November 2025, I designed and facilitated an executive module that connects sustainability, climate change and biodiversity with corporate and investment decision-making for Corficolombiana’s finance, risk and sustainability teams. The course bridges ESG and climate fundamentals with leading standards (IFRS S1/S2, TCFD, TNFD) and sustainable instruments such as green, social, sustainability and nature-linked bonds, as well as emerging biodiversity finance mechanisms. Through portfolio-based case studies on sectors such as toll roads and hospitality, participants analyse physical and transition risks, identify nature-positive opportunities, and build a preliminary roadmap to integrate sustainable finance across the group’s investment strategy.

Since 2018, I have designed and delivered one of the university’s most in-demand professional courses, guiding participants through the technical, financial, and regulatory aspects of renewable energy project development. The course integrates case studies on wind and biomass projects, financial modeling exercises, and strategic frameworks for bankable project structuring.
Developed and facilitated a specialized module on IFRS S2, focusing on managing climate-related risks and opportunities, disclosure frameworks, and practical applications for financial institutions and corporations. Mentored professionals to translate sustainability data into decision-relevant financial insights.
