The transition to a greener, more sustainable and inclusive economy. I have devoted my entire career as an economist to promoting this objective through policy work and research. As I indicated, this passion is also the subject of my latest book commissioned by Cambridge University Press, "Economics for a Fragile Planet", which I am currently writing.

When I was child I always dreamed of becoming an engineer one day, but I knew it would not be a easy job, especially because of poor financial conditions. So I started to built a solid base to reach my dream, I always have a sharp habit for reading, which led me to be connected with the world all times. Another important factor is that I was always dedicating myself to being a good student in my school and to improve my knowledge through something more practical like a technical administration course that I did when I was fifteen years old, the course had two years of duration and it was one of the best things that happened in my life, my mind opened very much to everything.
