Seeking new opportunities after recently relocating from Manila to Boston, Massachusetts.
With over 25 years in infrastructure development and finance, covering the energy, transport, and water sectors, I have acted as project developer, financial advisor, project lender, equity investor, management consultant and policy advisor in the project finance and PPP business lines. Geographically, I have focused on the developing markets of Asia advising regional clients and supporting both inbound and outbound investment from/to North America and Europe.
Most recently I served the Asian Development Bank (ADB) as Principal Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Specialist helping our developing member country governments to garner private sector participation in infrastructure and public services. Covering both South and Southeast Asia, I supported central government PPP policy development, advising on laws, processes, institutional arrangements, and project development criteria for managing PPPs. On specific projects, I provided commercial/financial transaction advice, promoting robust project structures, tendering, documentation, and financial advice to help realize sustainable PPP projects.
As Technical Advisor to ADBs PPP Thematic Group, I supported bank-wide initiatives on PPP policy development and capacity building. In this role, I co-authored the Bank’s PPP Operational Plan 2012-2020 - a first amongst development finance institutions. As an internal advisor, I provided advice to ADB sector divisions on PPP project and policy design and designed and delivered training, outreach, and capacity building programs.
I am now seeking to apply my experience in PPP, energy and project finance from a North American base.
