An Ecuadorian economist with more than 14 years of experience in public positions and teaching in academia, her track record combines international academic training with technical expertise from various Ecuadorian State institutions, high-level responsibilities in the executive branch, and university teaching. Her strong academic and professional training has covered the areas of economics, economic analysis, planning, and public management.
Since starting her career in 2012, she has held responsibilities related to national planning, economic management, and the formulation, implementation, and monitoring of public policy. As Minister of the National Planning Secretariat, she led strategic processes for national planning, monitoring of objectives, and policy coordination with the decentralized autonomous governments.
In the economic sphere, she headed the Ministry of Economy and Finance. During her ministerial term, she was responsible for important economic and fiscal policy decisions related to the sustainability of public finances, the management of State liquidity, sovereign financing, and recovering Ecuador’s access to international capital markets. Highlights from this period include sovereign bond issuances in 2026 and the upgrade of the country’s international credit rating to B, with a stable outlook, by Standard & Poor’s.
Her term also involved policy-making aimed at strengthening productive financing, business development, job creation, technification of productive sectors, and fulfillment of the State’s obligations with suppliers, social security institutions, and decentralized autonomous governments.
From 2019 to 2024, she taught Public Sector Economics and Fiscal Policy, both at the undergraduate and master’s level, at the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador. Her academic experience was geared toward training professionals in economic analysis, understanding public finances, and studying fiscal policy instruments and their impact on the economy.
Her professional experience cuts across three core areas: Economic policy-making, public finance management, and academic training in economics. This combination has enabled her to address economic challenges from a technical and institutional perspective, linking planning, fiscal policy, public finance, and productive development.
She holds an undergraduate degree in Economics from the Pontifical Catholic University of Ecuador and a master’s degree in economics from the Carlos III University of Madrid.
