Lourdes Landa: Recognised as an Influential Leader Shaping Mexico’s Energy Future

A Distinguished Professional Background

Lourdes brings a unique combination of legal, financial, and project management expertise to Atlas NextWave. She holds degrees in Law, Accounting and Finance, as well as advanced specialisations in International Tax Law and Public Policy from leading universities including NYU and Harvard. She also earned a Master’s in Financial Strategy and Project Management from the University of Oxford.

This academic foundation, combined with more than a decade of professional experience in Oil & Gas, positions Lourdes as a highly respected figure in international taxation, compliance, and large-scale energy project development.

Recognised Leadership in Mexico

Her recognition as one of the most influential voices in Mexico’s energy sector reflects her ability to bridge complex areas such as international taxation, compliance, and project management. Lourdes is not only a trusted advisor to Atlas NextWave’s clients but also a respected thought leader contributing to how governments and organisations approach energy strategy across Latin America.

Leading Expansion in Latin America

Lourdes is currently spearheading Atlas NextWave’s regional operations, including a landmark drilling project in Suriname in partnership with Noble Drilling. The campaign highlights Suriname’s potential as one of the most promising energy markets in the Americas, with comparisons often made to Guyana’s recent success. Her leadership reflects Atlas NextWave’s strategy of being more than a recruitment agency. As Lourdes explains, “Our role is to be a long-term knowledge partner, helping clients enter new markets, ensuring compliance, and enabling sustainable workforce development.”

Full Coverage of the Energy Value Chain

Atlas NextWave provides a complete range of services for Oil & Gas and Renewable Energy projects, including:

• Recruitment of specialist personnel
• Market entry strategies and local partnerships
• Legal and fiscal compliance support
• National content and workforce development

This integrated approach has attracted leading industry clients such as Transocean, SBM Offshore, Noble Drilling, Seadrill, Prosafe and Repsol. From offshore drilling campaigns and seismic survey projects to offshore wind farms and marine operations, Atlas NextWave delivers expertise across the full value chain.

Unlocking Opportunities in Mexico and Beyond

Mexico is a key focus area, with upcoming opportunities in Floating Storage and Offloading (FSO) units and Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facilities. These projects will require highly trained offshore personnel, and Atlas NextWave is ready to deliver through its flagship Greenhands Offshore programme. This proven training initiative has already prepared thousands of new entrants for offshore careers around the world and will now help develop the next generation of offshore talent in Mexico. Across the wider region, Atlas NextWave is also supporting companies in Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, and Argentina as they look to capitalise on new discoveries and investments in both Oil & Gas and renewables.
