I am a Chemical Engineer with 24 years of experience in long-term corporate business planning with focus on Petrochemicals, Oil & Energy Market Intelligence, Corporate Strategies and Supply Chain Analysis.

 

I have been working to leader companies in Brazil and Argentina, like Petrobras and Perez-Companc. As a consultant based in Canada, I worked with market leaders like Braskem (one of the top-10 world petrochemical companies) and Petroflex/Lanxess (Latin-American leader in synthetic rubber), looking for new investments and developing long-term strategies. These world studies aim mainly the market analysis, business development strategies and international competitiveness (Americas, Europe, Middle East and Asia), with market forecasts, margins scenarios and business strategies.    

   

I have a strong background in research of investments and processes analysis. Among my expertise I could highlight:

 

  1. • Evaluation in short and long term of prices, margins and competitiveness

  2. • Definition of price policies through the negotiation of a margin-share in long-term contracts

  3. • Definition of operations and contracts to exports

  4. • Development of models to project demand, prices, competitiveness and margins fluctuations in real time and in the long term

  5. • Support to commercial, financial and planning areas, forecasting the markets of raw materials and final products and their effects on financial results in the oil and derivatives industries.

  6. • Competitiveness studies to world-class producers, helping decision makers in key commercial and strategic issues.

 

I have recommended billions of dollars in investments and commercial strategies to petrochemical, oil and energy industries. These analyses are based on renowned techniques developed by international consultants such as SRI International, ChemSystems, CMAI and Tecnon.

 

Here you will find a short extract of my works in market projection, prices and margins  for some final products and its raw materials.  The first charts were updated projections of the Ethylene costs and its raw materials. They were based on the NYMEX energy prices scenario as of April 2006.
