From analyzing global energy markets to founding a women's association in Mexico and Latin America to becoming CEO of a development company, Patricia Tatto 's career path encapsulates more than 15 years of evolution in the renewable energy industry. A lawyer trained in Mexico, her journey took her from market intelligence in Europe to leading Genux Power, combining technical expertise, strategic vision, and an active role in promoting inclusion within the sector. "My career began more than 15 years ago in London at a company called CSP Today," explained the CEO of Genux Power in an interview with Energía Estratégica . "I had the opportunity to get involved, learn about various projects, and understand the industry and the sector in depth," she added, emphasizing that this initial contact allowed her to grasp market dynamics, technologies, and challenges such as bankability. 
His return to Mexico, ten years later, redefined his profile towards the technical and financial execution of projects. He worked for nine years at ATA Renovables, where he led operations in Latin America and expanded his role to include advising developers, banks, and funds. "That's where I went from simply understanding the market to understanding the technical aspects of renewables and the financing side."
I began to specialize in advising clients who wanted to participate in auctions, helping them with the engineering of their projects, while we watched the Latin American market unfold, he stated. In that role, he participated in auctions, structuring, and project supervision in various countries in the region , with experience in plants under construction in Chile, initiatives linked to the RenovAr program in Argentina, and tenders in Mexico, where they worked on advising and engineering awarded solar and wind projects. Later, we specialized in batteries, hybrid projects, and hydrogen.
We went where our customers went.
In that context, I opened offices in Chile, Colombia, and Mexico, Tatto noted.
During his time in London, Tatto was already involved in groups where issues of inclusion in the energy industry were beginning to be discussed.
Upon returning to Mexico, he detected a different reality."We met with different women and saw the problem of lack of representation in Mexico and Latin America," she explained.
“We began to question the reality for women in the sector, what the gaps were, and what our concerns were,” she added, a process that led to the creation of the Mexican Association of Women in Renewable Energy (MERM). From its inception, the initiative sought to generate representation within the sector."We sought to transgress the way women were viewed in business in Latin America," she said.
Over time, the association consolidated mentorship programs, alliances, and a regional network like MERLATAM. Our decisions carry significant weight in the just energy transition, which we want to be a conscious one.Projects must have a triple impact: economic, environmental and social, Tatto noted.
In parallel, they made progress in concrete actions for job placement."We created a newsletter with job openings and started recommending women," she explained.
Two months ago, MERM celebrated its tenth anniversary, at which time Patricia Tatto handed over the presidency to Adhara Isabel Perales Chiu. Despite the progress made, Tatto cautioned that challenges remain and require the implementation of concrete solutions. " Today I say the diagnosis has been made; what's needed is to apply it," she stated, referring to the gender gaps still present in the industry. In this regard, she emphasized the need to advance training, inclusion, and development programs within companies, as well as the creation of genuine opportunities for participation. On a personal level, her time leading the association marked a turning point in her career. "It's the greatest satisfaction of my life; I never would have imagined it would be so powerful," she affirmed, highlighting the impact achieved after a decade of work. With this chapter completed, Tatto begins a new professional phase as CEO of Genux Power, focused on the direct execution of projects in Latin America. The company, a joint venture between Exus Renewables and Glencore, specializes in the development of parks up to the ready-to-build stage and their subsequent financing, with a focus on markets such as Mexico, Argentina, Peru and Colombia."I'm here to strengthen the team and provide my strategic vision," the executive stated.
In this new role, the company is already moving forward with concrete projects in the region. Among them is a hybrid development in Mexico of over 250 MW in Yucatán, which combines renewable generation with storage and was awarded in the last bidding round in December. "It's a more interesting sector than ever, much more mature and strategic. There's a lot of appetite in Mexico for distributed generation, batteries, and new participation models," he stated. Ultimately, his journey has led him to a comprehensive vision of the sector."I feel that today, with this new challenge, I am closing the loop on all the research I have done, the experience in Latin America, and the interest in inclusion in this sector," she reflected.
Being hands-on doing projects in my country and on the continent that has given me so much brings me great joy, he concluded.
