I am a senior economist with more than 20 years of experience leading and shaping poverty measurement, targeting systems, and evidence-based social protection reform in Latin America and the Caribbean.  I hold a Ph.D. in Economics (University of Essex, UK) and maintain an active academic profile, with publications in international peer-reviewed journals and ongoing research on poverty, targeting performance, and policy implementation.

I provide strategic leadership in designing and institutionalizing data-driven decision systems that strengthen social protection and guide evidence-based investment decisions. My work integrates rigorous analysis with practical implementation, enabling public institutions to enhance effectiveness, equity, and long-term policy impact.
