Minister of Energy and Environment Jimena Latorre announced his appointment during a meeting with mining sector leaders in Buenos Aires, as part of the presentation of the international event Mendoza will host in April to connect Andean projects with global financing.

Sebastián Piña was officially introduced as the new CEO of Impulsa Mendoza, marking the beginning of a new stage focused on accelerating strategic investments and connecting local projects with international financing markets.

The announcement was made in Buenos Aires during the launch of Andean Bridge, an event led by Minister of Energy and Environment Jimena Latorre, which brought together representatives from leading companies, multilateral organizations, embassies, industry chambers and capital market stakeholders linked to productive and mining development.

The event was co-organized by Impulsa Mendoza together with TCA Tanoira Cassagne, the Toronto Stock Exchange, consulting firm IN-VR and The Net Zero Circle. Within this framework, the Government of Mendoza reinforced its strategy to position itself financially within Andean mining and announced that the province will host the Andean Capital Forum from April 20 to 22 at Espacio Arizu.

A New Stage for Impulsa Mendoza

Piña previously served as the organization’s Chief Financial Officer, and his appointment reflects the decision to deepen Impulsa Mendoza’s technical and financial profile in order to facilitate access to capital and transform the institutional positioning achieved by the province into concrete investments.

“I assume the role of CEO of Impulsa Mendoza convinced that we are entering a new stage in the province’s mining development,” he stated during the event.

“After a period of institutional reorganization and the repositioning of Mendoza on the global investment map, the current challenge is clear: to move from positioning to action by accelerating exploration and facilitating access to capital through effective integration with international financing circuits,” he added.

Piña holds a Master’s degree in Econometrics from Torcuato Di Tella University and a degree in Economics from the National University of Cuyo. In addition to his experience in the financial sector, he also works as a university professor, combining academic expertise with experience in financial structuring.
