Stage 2 of 4, 2021 to today
Evaluate
Every investment decision starts with a mass balance.
The stage
Since 2021 I have designed, evaluated and implemented industrial investment projects, alongside my other roles. Each project rests on operating metrics and on its return on investment.
I have worked with more than 20 industrial companies in 7 countries, in plants of 8 to 226 tonnes per hour. The CAPEX evaluated adds up to close to USD 85 million, across new businesses, capacity expansions and in-plant sustainability.
This is the same logic of «investable» that I now bring to bio-businesses, applied to industrial assets. I also applied it in entrepreneurship programmes: I designed the business evaluation for Climathon Peru and assessed the technical and economic viability of the Qallariy businesses.
