Meet Our Spanish-Speaking Team

At SEF Canada, our work has always centered on something simple but essential: building relationships of trust with the communities and partners we work alongside. And trust starts with speaking the same language, not just literally, but culturally.

That's why we're excited to announce that SEF Canada now has a team that speaks Spanish, ready to support mining companies and communities across Latin America with the same closeness and understanding we've built through our projects in Ecuador, Mexico, and other regions.

Karina, Circe, Paloma and Javier are part of this team, bringing experience, cultural fluency, and a genuine commitment to sustainable economic development across the region.

Why this matters

For mining companies operating or expanding in Latin America, having a partner who understands both the language and the cultural context makes the difference between a slow, strained community engagement process and one that's agile, respectful, and effective. Having supported over 300 communities worldwide through our Entrepreneurial Development (ED) Program, SEF Canada now adds this capability to better serve our partners and the communities across the region.
