Transport financing: EU policy and advisory

Senior Transport Specialist at the European Investment Bank

I work at the European Investment Bank advising promoters and public entities on developing projects and strategies in the transport sector: from sustainable urban mobility plans to metro projects, to climate adaptation in railways. The main objective: designing bankable projects and investment programmes that can benefit from EU funds and EIB financing. I also coordinate the EIB engagement with the EU Institutions on transport policy, including the recently adopted Ports and Industrial Maritime Strategies.

I write a newsletter on Substack, The mobility climate, about the topics I work on.

Before joining the EIB, I managed Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) grants at CINEA and spent nearly a decade as a consultant on sustainable transport across Spain, Peru, Mexico, Chile and Guatemala.

I am a Civil Engineer from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, started a PhD (never finished it), and have an executive certificate in sustainable urban mobility planning. I also had the honour of attending an executive course on climate change at Harvard Kennedy School.
