About
Candela is a Senior Macroeconomic Analyst based in Buenos Aires, Argentina, bringing nearly eight years of experience to her work. At PxQ Consultora, she developed and delivered tailored forecasting and scenario analysis for C-level executives, methodologies that have since become firm standards.

She regularly uses tools like Python, R, and Stata in her analysis. Her career arc includes impactful roles across private and public sectors. As a Market Analyst at Numera Analytics, she co-founded the firm's first Gender Committee, using econometric analysis to quantify labor market inequalities and inform C-level strategies.
