Sebastián Sanabria

Sebastián Sanabria is a Government and Public Affairs professional with graduate training in Corporate Finance and in Team Management and Leadership, and experience in strategy, public affairs, public policy, innovation and applied research.

His career sits at the intersection of business, the State and politics, from which he has built an integrated view of the actors, interests, institutions and power dynamics that shape decision-making. He combines private-sector strategy, political work and strategic research, with academic and institutional experience across Colombia, Mexico and Brazil, and graduate training in Spain.

In the private sector he has worked on public affairs and strategy, analyzing political, regulatory and institutional environments and their impact on organizations. His experience combines environment reading, actor analysis, risk and opportunity identification, and the construction of strategic perspectives to navigate scenarios of change and high complexity.

His experience in politics has given him a first-hand understanding of how power is built, of electoral competition and of decision-making. He has contributed strategy for electoral campaigns, working on situational analysis, actors, scenarios and power dynamics.

This perspective is complemented by a track record in strategic research on international security, geopolitics, defense and public policy, developed across Colombia, Brazil and Mexico. He has taken part in inter-institutional research and simulation exercises linked to security and defense, as well as in Latin American academic networks devoted to strategic affairs and regional governance.
