Sol's work focuses on integrating social, cultural, and territorial dimensions into project development, fostering long-term relationships with communities and delivering solutions aligned with socio-environmental standards and regulatory frameworks.
With extensive experience in complex extractive and energy projects, Sol has led initiatives aligned with international standards, including the International Labour Organization's Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (ILO Convention 169), the Equator Principles, the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards (IFC), and the United Nations human rights frameworks. Her expertise includes leading multidisciplinary teams, managing stakeholder engagement and Indigenous consultation processes, as well as designing and implementing community relations and social management strategies aimed at building trust, reducing risk, and creating shared value for both communities and projects.
Her experience includes leading baseline data collection, early engagement, and Indigenous consultation processes with Aymara, Atacameño, Colla, Diaguita, and Mapuche-Huilliche communities, as well as developing participatory methodologies that strengthen dialogue, support consensus-building, and incorporate local perspectives into project planning and execution across Chile. She has also worked extensively in cultural heritage identification and preservation, integrating local knowledge and cultural practices into socio-environmental management.
In her current role at Ausenco, Sol leads community engagement and socio-territorial development strategies that integrate technical excellence with local realities. Working closely with clients and multidisciplinary teams, she helps strengthen trust, territorial legitimacy, and the long-term sustainability of projects.
In addition to her consulting work, Sol is actively involved in teaching, research, and the publication of content related to Indigenous consultation and community engagement. She promotes sustainable solutions that strengthen relationships between companies, communities, and other key stakeholders.
Sol holds a degree in Anthropological Sciences, with a specialisation in Archaeology from the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina), and a PhD in Architecture and Cultural-Environmental Heritage from the University of Seville (Spain). She further complements her academic background with postgraduate studies in citizen participation and environmental management.
