Top 3 Priorities to Achieve as a CCC Member

1. Strengthening the Coalition’s advocacy on beneficial ownership transparency
   As UNCAC implementation reviews increasingly touch on corporate transparency and asset recovery, I would prioritize positioning the Coalition as a leading civil society voice on beneficial ownership data quality standards, pushing states to move beyond formal compliance toward genuinely usable, interoperable data.
2. Deepening engagement with Latin American civil society
   The region has a vibrant but often fragmented anti-corruption ecosystem. I would work to strengthen the Coalition’s ties with Latin American member organizations, improve their participation in UNCAC review processes, and ensure regional priorities, including health sector corruption and gendered aspects of corruption, are reflected in Coalition advocacy.
3. Building bridges between technical expertise and affected communities.
   I would champion approaches that connect the Coalition’s policy work to journalists, victims of corruption, grassroots organizations, particularly on issues where corruption intersects with gender inequality and access to public services.

Candidate’s profile

I’m currently the Program Director at Action4Justice, a columnist at El Universal, and a PhD researcher in Political Science at Central European University. My doctoral work focuses on how beneficial ownership data can be used to strengthen anti-corruption efforts, particularly in contexts marked by opacity and institutional fragility. 

With over 15 years of experience in the anti-corruption field, I’ve worked at the intersection of civic technology, public policy, and justice reform. I previously served as Executive Director of Impunidad Cero, and held research roles at NYU’s GovLab and Transparencia Mexicana (the Mexican chapter of Transparency International). 

I’m especially interested in how to detect grand transnational corruption networks that undermine public service delivery, particularly in the health sector, which I’ve researched most extensively. I also work on building anti-corruption networks that bring together the expertise of government, civil society, academia, journalists, and victims of corruption to confront these systemic issues collaboratively. 

I would like to contribute with rigorous research expertise and frontline civil society experience to the Coalition’s mission of holding states accountable to UNCAC commitments. 

Contributions to the work of the Coalition

I would like to bring specialized expertise in beneficial ownership transparency, financial crime detection, and data-driven anti-corruption advocacy. My doctoral research on BO data quality directly informs how civil society can hold states accountable for transparency commitments, while my work at Action4Justice connects that research to frontline advocacy. 

As an individual member representative, I would work to bridge the Coalition’s global agenda with Latin American civil society perspectives, and contribute thematic depth on corruption in the health sector and its gendered dimensions, areas where I have both research and advocacy experience.
