Alda Metrass
Consultant, Exclusive Associate
My expertise spans strategy, transaction advisory, project feasibility, economic appraisal, demand and revenue forecasting, engineering design, and development of master plans.
I have over 20 years of experience in large infrastructure projects, mainly in transport, across more than 40 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, Europe and Asia. My career has taken me from consultancy and academia to roles with multilateral development banks such as the European Investment Bank and International Finance Corporation, where I specialized in strategy, transaction advisory, and project feasibility for toll roads and airport projects.
Before joining CPCS, I worked as a Road Specialist at the European Investment Bank (EIB) before moving to Washington, D.C. to serve as Global Investment Officer of the Private-Public Partnerships advisory team at the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – the private sector arm of the World Bank Group.
I speak English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian.
