Bridging Data, Risk & Sustainability
Welcome
Hi, I’m Luis. I use data to drive organisational change.
My expertise bridges academic research, executive education, and consulting practice across three interconnected areas: (1) ESG and sustainability strategy; (2) sustainable work; and (3) data-driven risk assessment using machine learning and advanced analytics. This multidisciplinary approach enables me to help organisations build resilient, evidence-based, and people-centered business models while developing their leadership capacity to navigate complex sustainability and workforce challenges.
I possess a rare, on-the-ground understanding of how global supply chains operate from manufacturing hubs in Asia to resource economies in Latin America and regulatory centers in Europe. I have lived and worked in Spain, the UK, China and Chile and presented research and advisory work at conferences and meetings in more than 15 countries from Tokyo to Geneva to Rio de Janeiro.
I hold a PhD in Management with focus on Corporate Social Responsibility, an MA in Environmental Law and Sustainability, an MSc in Human Resources, and a BSc in Organisational Psychology. I am also professionally certified in data science, trained in international human rights law, and sustainable finance.
