Meet our people

I work in ContourGlobal since 2014, and from that moment I have changed different position until now that I am Administrative Coordinator Africa.

My job allows me to use my skills to connect our local operations with our global goals, making sure our teams have everything they need to succeed safely and efficiently.

In my culture, women are generally considered a minority, underestimated, and good for household shores. However, I encourage every woman entering the workforce or growing in their careers to keep enduring and never let it go when they are faced with negativity.

This is why I enjoy working at ContourGlobal, a company that is continuously promoting a gender-based culture, with no discrimination, physical, moral, or sexual harassment.

I have been part of the Palma del Río plant from the very beginning, growing with the project and ensuring the water systems run safely and smoothly.

Several aspects keep me motivated. On one hand, there is the human element at the plant—a team of highly professional individuals with a genuine passion for learning, sharing knowledge, giving their best, and reaching common goals. Here, I haven’t just found colleagues, but friends and people I learn from every day.

On the other hand, I am motivated by working for a company truly committed to occupational safety and the environment. Even though these are legal obligations, it is not common to find companies with this level of genuine commitment. Finally, it is inspiring to work in a sector that is both expanding and so relevant to today’s world.

I started my journey at ContourGlobal few months ago as Global Responsible for the wind engineering of our assets. After after graduating as Industrial Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, I started working initially on business development and mechanics namely in system dynamics and later, I transitioned to performing as an adjuster and troubleshooting on clients’ operational assets, primarily in Spain.

In 2021, I started contributing to both bottom-fixed and floating offshore wind projects at various stages of development. In particular, a floating wind industry’s reference off the coast of Portugal, which represented a special experience for me and allowed me to collaborate on two white papers with the talented experts from the University of Porto (FEUP). I also contributed with platform designers to design floating substructures.

Now, in my current role, I look forward to generating a centralized data system to monitor all our operational assets and find synergies that enable improving their performance. Some advice to young women pursuing a career as mine? Wind is so broad that you can seek until you find the aspect of the work you are passionate about, and this will enable for sure a possibility of professional growth for you!

I started my career in administration and project management, working as a Project Manager in an NGO. My transition to the energy sector was unexpected but exciting—I had the opportunity to work with the Ministry of Energy, where I gained valuable insights into energy policy and sectoral development.  

I aim to continue growing within the energy sector, further developing my expertise in operations and project coordination. My goal is to take on leadership roles where I can drive efficiency and innovation in administrative processes.

But if there’s one piece of advice I’d share, it’s to be confident and proactive. The energy sector offers incredible opportunities for growth, and it’s important to step forward, take on challenges, and keep learning. ContourGlobal is full of supportive mentors and colleagues that make a huge difference in your growing path.
