Daniel is Regional Director for Latin America. Based in Mexico City, he leads the delivery of integrated risk management, security, political and compliance solutions for clients operating across the region. His focus is on large, complex projects in the extractives, energy, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors, critical reputational and compliance issues, and those that require in-depth regional expertise of Latin America.
Daniel helps organizations to anticipate political, security, social and operational risks, and to build resilient strategies in challenging environments. He enables them to reduce uncertainty, anticipate disruptions, comply with international standards and achieve stable, sustainable operations across high‑risk jurisdictions.
Recent engagements include:
- Designing and implementing an enterprise‑wide risk management system for a major pipeline operator in Peru
- Supporting a company’s crisis management team dealing with a complicated reputational and compliance case, involving potential exposure to authorities in both the US and Mexico
- Leading a political and social feasibility assessment for a multinational mining company evaluating a strategic acquisition in Colombia
- Supporting the creation of a community engagement strategy and grievance mechanism for an extractives client in Mexico
Daniel’s unique value lies in combining deep regional expertise, political analysis and practical risk‑management experience across Latin America. Having worked in London, Bogotá and Mexico City, he brings a rare blend of strategic insight, on‑the‑ground understanding, and board‑level communication skills. His background in Latin American politics, governance and international institutions enables him to interpret complex stakeholder landscapes with clarity, and to translate them into actionable strategies.
Before joining Control Risks, Daniel taught Latin American Politics at the London School of Economics. In 2009, he took a sabbatical to work as the Strategic Director and Policy Co-ordinator of a presidential campaign in Colombia.
