Energy advising, strategy and geopolitics
Rodrigo has been working in the global arena of economics and energy since 1985. He began his career in the Texas State Senate and the Texas Public Utility Commission while pursuing his doctorate degree in Economics and Energy at the University of Texas. He worked as an economic consultant with the World Bank before serving as Colombian Minister of Energy and Ambassador to Japan. He lectures regularly and has been a program director and a professor at the University of San Diego, Andes University of Bogota, Externado de Colombia, Instituto de Estudios Bursátiles of Madrid, Spain, and Florida Atlantic University.
Rodrigo advises clients on energy security and economic competitiveness. His primary focus is assisting companies and government agencies to make “the Great Energy Transition” that the world needs—the confluence of decarbonization, deglobalization and digitalization with AI—to achieve greater investment returns for regions, departments and cities. He offers support and expertise in creating Energy Transition RoadMaps, ESG evaluating guides and guidelines, geo-strategic and development programs and activities required to promote decarbonization through ESG, Carbon Credits and carbon footprint reductions.
The above tool-box of strategies and plans offered to new and experienced governors, majors, CEOs and mid-managers alike are supplemented by short courses, webinars, seminars, conferences and “hand-holding,” as and when needed. Rodrigo and his teams also offer active, vibrant and constructive community relations and instruction to speed up energy transition projects.
Rodrigo is currently head of the Borametz Group. He has published seven books on the economics and geopolitics of energy, the environment and competitiveness.
