I am the founder and director of Orinoco Research, the only intelligence service for foreign investors interested in Venezuela.

I write at Forbes in the Energy section.

I graduated in Development Studies from SOAS, University of London. I am doing research and reporting from Caracas, Venezuela. I have also published pieces in Le Monde Diplomatique, The European, El Confidencial, and The Political Room, among others. I also ran Over the Hedge, a Substack on emerging and developing markets, for a year.
