Présentation
I am Rodrigo, PhD in Economics at the Camilo José Cela University (UCJC) of Madrid. I have extensive experience in business economics, smart specialization (S3) and internationalization of Triple Impact Companies. My doctoral thesis was directed by the prominent economist Jorge Katz, PhD at University of Oxford and pupil of the Nobel Prize in Economics John Hicks (1972).
I have also completed a specialization in economic policy for social innovation at University of Oxford. During the last 16 years, I have had the opportunity to improve my knowledge in various disciplines in Chilean and European universities. I also hold an Official Master's Degree in Territorial and Environmental Strategies in the Local Level at the University of Huelva, and the CMI Level 8 Award in Strategic Management and Leadership from the United Kingdom.
I have developed different economic dynamics for global markets and associative economic models, with a strong emphasis on business and territorial intelligence. In addition, I have broadened my experience as a lecturer in the fields of social innovation, applied economics and development of indigenous communities in Latin America, giving courses and lectures at various universities and academic institutions in Latin America and Europe.
I have positioned myself as a specialist in internationalization and scaling of companies for the Business Development Centers Program in Chile. I have also provided technical assistance to international organizations such as the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the European Union, the Spanish Agency for International Cooperation and R&D entities of the Valencian Community, collaborating with researchers and companies.
As an experienced consultant in smart specialization strategies, I offer an innovative perspective on the commitment to research and innovation as key elements for the competitive development of the territories. Finally, for my work on inclusive economic development in Latin America, I have had the privilege of receiving several awards in the United Kingdom, India, the United States, Spain and Italy.
