About Margarita

Margarita leads innovation at CIDIF, Forcast's Research, Development and Innovation Center. She formulates and structures projects focused on artificial intelligence and renewable energy, coordinating clients, technical teams and stakeholders to ensure successful implementations.

Her work focuses on turning complex data into actionable insights: she detects management gaps, proposes solutions and identifies new innovation and funding opportunities to expand the group's portfolio of technology initiatives.

She joined Forcast in 2019 as a Financial Analyst, where for more than 3 years she handled financial statement analysis, cash flow and investment project evaluation. That financial-operational foundation, together with her Master's in Finance (UAI) and Diploma in Data Science (PUC), is what she applies today to support high-impact decisions at CIDIF.
