INDECOPI
Member of the Specialized Chamber for the Elimination of Bureaucratic Barriers.
Since January 2018, I have been part of INDECOPI's first Chamber for the Elimination of Bureaucratic Barriers, presiding over it for three years until April 2023. Renewed in July 2024 for a further five years, I am currently its President. My work is distinguished by a rigorous analysis of legal, administrative and market complexities, offering fair solutions with independence and high ethical standards.
This system, unique worldwide, eliminates unjustified obstacles to facilitate the access and permanence of economic agents in the market, combining administrative law, economics and management to evaluate regulations and impacts on competitiveness. I have led emblematic cases in employment, transportation, health, foreign trade, mining, agriculture and more, covering all levels of government, from ministries to municipalities, promoting a more efficient and equitable market.

National Coordinator
Project “GQSP Peru - Strengthening the quality of coffee and cocoa in Peru”, with the support of Swiss Cooperation - SECO.
First phase (2019 - 2023): US$ 2.5 MM implemented.
Second phase (2024 - 2027): US$ 1.5 MM to implement
I lead a $4 million project to boost the competitiveness of Peru’s coffee and cocoa exports, strengthening the quality infrastructure (QI) alongside actors like INACAL, SENASA, regional governments, labs, and San Martín cooperatives. The first phase exceeded expectations, enhancing the QI system and value chains, prompting a second phase funded by Swiss Cooperation and UNIDO.
I guided the project with a focus on quality and sustainability, managing procurement under UN standards with efficiency and transparency. My expertise in regulations and international standards equips me to arbitrate disputes involving norms and trade. Collaborating with diverse stakeholders, I honed mediation skills—key for resolving supply chain or development conflicts—while designing monitoring systems to assess outcomes, applicable to arbitral case management.
