Eduardo Guevara has worked in different capacities in the development of operations and investment projects in Peru related to the energy sector (hydrocarbon, exploration and exploitation projects, natural gas power generation projects, methane and ethane petrochemical projects), as well as he has advised important companies in the energy sector.

Over more than two decades of professional career, Eduardo has held important positions in both the public and private sectors. He was appointed as the first Vice Minister of Hydrocarbons - a position created in May 2018 - of the Peruvian Ministry of Energy and Mines, where he was responsible for the sustainable development policy in that area, covering not only issues related to company investments, but also the social issues affecting the extractive industries. Afterwards, he served as Chairman of the Board of PETROPERU, a national hydrocarbon company, where he contributed to the modernisation of the company's management, as well as to the strengthening of its integrity and diversity policies.

Eduardo graduated in Law from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and has an LL.M. from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. He has been recognised as an expert lawyer in hydrocarbons matters by the international rankings Chambers and Partners and Legal 500. He has also been a professor at the Law Schools of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and the Universidad de Piura, where he taught Mining and Energy Law and Hydrocarbons Law, respectively. Eduardo has written numerous published articles on trending topics in the energy sector and regularly participates as an expert speaker on energy issues at conferences and events.
