About Paulina
I support companies and organisations in the energy sector by combining strategic analysis and data analytics to turn complex data into actionable business decisions.
I am an Industrial Engineers and hold an MSc in Energy Management from ESCP Business School (Grande École). I recently worked at the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris, where I contributed to analyses on energy policy and clean technologies, gaining an international perspective on energy markets, public policy, and decarbonisation challenges.
I have also worked on the intersection of energy and mining, notably through research on the integration of renewable energy into the copper industry in Chile.
Previously, I spent over 4 years in data-driven consulting as a Senior Business Analyst, supporting international clients on projects involving data analysis, problem structuring, and strategic recommendations, in Agile environments and with direct client interaction.
What I can help you with:
- Energy market analysis (power markets, renewables, CCUS, energy transition, technical notes)
- Data analysis & business insights (Excel, dashboards, data storytelling, reports)
- Strategic decision support
- Structuring complex problems and project scoping
- Market research and policy analysis (energy policy, low-carbon technologies, market trends)
Typical engagements:
- Market studies, techno-economic and replicability assessments, benchmarking
- Strategic analysis (market entry, new technologies, net zero strategies)
- Support to consulting projects (PMO, analysis, client deliverables)
- Commercial or operational data analysis
What differentiates me:
A strong combination of business and analytical skills, applied to the energy sector, with the ability to clearly communicate complex topics to decision-makers.
