These examples present executive responsibilities and advisory assignments undertaken by Sarah Moya at different stages of her career. They illustrate the experience on which Coresight Strategies draws.
To preserve confidentiality, advisory assignments are anonymised and presented through the decision problem, the work undertaken and its contribution.
Decision problem
Preserve the operability of a 224.4-kilometre cross-border gas pipeline with a maximum transport capacity of 500 million cubic feet per day (approximately 14.16 million m³/day, according to Promigas, 2023), while attacks, operational incidents, regulatory requirements, and territorial relationships threatened its continuity.
Intervention
As Managing Director and Legal Representative in Colombia, Sarah Moya coordinated relations with public authorities, Ecopetrol, Chevron, Wayuu communities, and security stakeholders. She connected regulatory management, territorial engagement, infrastructure protection, and operational continuity around the dependencies capable of interrupting the asset.
Impact
Attacks against the pipeline were reduced by 90 to 95%, operational incidents by 66%, and operating expenditure by 18%. The environmental licence and the continuity of the asset were preserved. At the end of her tenure, the subsidiary had USD 30 million available in its bank accounts.
Decision problem
A maritime incident exposed a European energy company to US sanctions, legal risk, and possible disruption of flows. The executive committee had to act quickly in an environment where each option carried different regulatory and operational consequences.
Intervention
The analysis separated non-negotiable constraints from the options that remained executable. Decision scenarios were structured for the committee, including activation conditions, consequences, and regulatory exposure. Coordination incorporated legal teams and relevant stakeholders across several jurisdictions.
Impact
The analysis provided management with findings on payment, counterparty and sanctions constraints to inform its response options.
Understand the regulatory and operating conditions affecting the execution of an energy project in the context of an international arbitration.
Contributed documentary research and analysis of the regulatory and operating context in response to the questions raised by the case.
The contribution consisted of research and analysis of the regulatory and operating conditions affecting an energy project in the context of an international arbitration.
A right, contract, or licence does not by itself keep an asset operable. A decision remains defensible when regulatory, territorial, financial, logistical, and security control points are identified before the available options disappear.
