Secretary for Communications and Transportation
|
|
Luis Téllez has a degree in Economics from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo in Mexico (ITAM) and a PhD in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); he has worked for a long time in the Mexican government and in the Mexican private sector. From January 2004 to November 2006, Luis Téllez held the position as Co-Director in The Carlyle Group in Mexico, one of the most important companies in the world regarding private capital investment. |
From 2002 to 2004, Luis Téllez was Executive Vice-President of Desc, S.A. de C.V., one of the most important industrial companies in Mexico. From 1997 to 2000, Mr. Tellez was Secretary of Energy of Mexico. During these years as Secretary, Téllez promoted the expansion of electrical generation and transmission infrastructure in the country and the development of the Cantarel hydrocarbons mega field. He also established the conditions and promoted the private construction for the supply and distribution of natural gas in Mexico, which has been fundamental for Mexico’s economic development. It was during his term as Secretary of Energy that Mexico led the efforts of the OPEC and other oil producing countries in trying to restore the price of this hydrocarbon.
During the three years prior to this, Luis Téllez headed the Office of the Presidency of Ernesto Zedillo. One should point out that during this time, Luis Téllez was fundamental in obtaining the financing which in turn allowed Mexico to overcome the financial crisis of 1995. During these years, Luis Téllez actively participated in the elaboration of different public policies, such as the reform of the pension fund schemes in the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) and designed the Progresa program, among others. In the first half of 1994, he collaborated as Campaign Coordinator for the, at the time, presidential candidate Ernesto Zedillo.
From 1990 to 1994, Luis Téllez held the position of Undersecretary of Planning at the Secretariat of Agriculture and Hydraulic Resources. During this period, Luis Téllez coordinated the group that established the new conditions for land ownership in Mexico, which led to the modification of Article 27, of the Mexican Constitution, and various other laws corresponding to this matter. In the years of 1987 through 1989, Téllez was the General Director of Planning at the Secretariat of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), having actively participated in the Mexican foreign debt negotiation in 1988.
