Catalina Consuegra started her career in the energy industry in Colombia and has worked internationally with both oil and gas operators and service companies. She has also worked in international deepwater drilling operations for an oil and gas major.
She is multicultural, knowledgeable of D&I best practices and resources, a big supporter of women, women of color, working moms, Latino communities and LGTBQ+. Working in a fast-paced operations environment and interacting with people from different cultures developed her passion for inclusion in the corporate environment.
Consuegra co-founded the Energy Diversity and Inclusion Council, where she served as the executive director. In addition, she successfully transitioned from the oil and gas industry to renewable energy, a change she wanted to make because she believes in the importance of delivering a cleaner future for the next generations. Currently, she is head of DEI at EDP Renewables.
