In my current role at Renera, I create long-term partnerships with producers and offtakers, strategically positioning Renera as a trusted partner in the sector. With a robust engineering background, enhanced by my commercial expertise and market insight, I am driving sustainable green gas solutions across Europe, guiding energy suppliers and consumers towards actionable strategies to reduce their carbon footprint.

In my former position with ENTSOG (the European Network of Transmission System Operators of Gas), I led the European Hydrogen and; Gas Quality group, managed EU-wide initiatives involving multiple stakeholders, and contributed to the EU legislation for renewable gas. My role also included developing and maintaining strategic alliances, as well as tackling the challenges and opportunities related to the integration of hydrogen and biomethane into the natural gas supply chain for its decarbonization.

My career in the energy sector started in 2018 when I joined Enagás (Spanish natural gas - and now also hydrogen - TSO) Renewable Gases team, where I worked towards the realisation of green hydrogen and biomethane projects across Spain.

Beyond my professional endeavours, in 2022 I was recognized as one of the World Energy Council’s 100 Future Energy Leaders and I co-edited and co-authored “Touching Hydrogen Future,” a publication produced by 38 energy professionals and downloaded by over 10,000 readers. I also played a pivotal role in the expansion and development of 'Women in Green Hydrogen Network', promoting the participation of women in conferences, expert talks, and relevant media to shape a more diverse and inclusive discourse in the world of hydrogen. This led me to be recognized in 2023 on the "Women in Hydrogen 50", a list featuring 50 influential women and drivers of this growing sector.
