Daniel is a senior advisor in our Energy and Natural Resources Practice, based in Santiago, Chile.
He helps mining leaders unlock value across portfolio strategy, due diligence, operational turnarounds, and digital/AI-enabled transformation. Known for decisive, inspiring leadership, he unites cross-functional teams and coaches executives to make faster, evidence-based decisions that last.
Daniel’s work spans end-to-end performance programs — reducing unit costs, lifting throughput and recovery, strengthening supply chains, and de-risking capital projects — while advancing decarbonization and circularity goals. He partners with CEOs and COOs to design operating models, build analytics capabilities, and embed frontline problem-solving to ensure improvements endure.
Mining is a long-term business: you invest through the cycles — not ride them — to create sustainable value and resilient shareholder returns
His trajectory — from BHP and Vale to Kraft Heinz and Amazon Web Services — demonstrates the blend of operational depth, commercial discipline, and digital fluency he brings to complex transformations.
He has built portfolio PMOs, stabilized profit and loss and supply chains during turnarounds, and deployed data platforms and AI/ML use cases in mining.
Trusted for inclusive leadership, Daniel unites culturally diverse teams around measurable outcomes. He has worked across Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, and the United States, and holds an MBA from MIT Sloan.
Outside of work, Daniel is a sports enthusiast — most often found on a snowboard or a tennis court — and loves sharing those moments with his family. Together, they’re pursuing a shared goal: earning their black belts in karate in the coming years.
