Vincent Burgmeier holds an engineering degree from the École des Mines in Nancy, France, and pursued further specialization in renewable energy and sustainability at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich), Switzerland.
With over 13 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, Vincent began his career at SgurrEnergy in France, where he evaluated more than 1.5 GWp of solar energy projects. His responsibilities included technical due diligence, construction and commissioning oversight, operational monitoring, energy yield assessments, contract and permit reviews, design and technology evaluations, and site inspections.
In 2015, Vincent established the company's office in Chile, the first in Latin America. In this capacity, he expanded his role to include business development activities across Latin America. SgurrEnergy was eventually acquired by large engineering firm Wood.
In 2018, Vincent joined Enertis as a Senior Consultant, continuing to carry out similar technical assignments while also leading the development of the local team. He was appointed Consultancy Manager for Chile in 2020, and for the broader Latin American region in 2024. Enertis was acquired by the Applus group in 2021.
Vincent is currently based in Brasília and is fluent in French (native), English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
