Biography

He was president of the Commission for the Formalization of Informal Property (COFOPRI); head of the National Superintendence of Public Registries (SUNARP); and president of the Council of Notaries, between 2001 and 2005.[1][2]

He has also been head of the National Institute of Concessions and Mining Cadastre (INACC); member of the Mining Registry Advisory Commission, Institutional Head of the Public Mining Registry; Director of Petróleos del Perú, Director of the Banco Minero del Perú; Director and Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Geological Mining Metallurgical Institute (INGEMMET); Director of the Board of Directors of the Scientific, Technological and Mining Institute; member of the Advisory Council of the National Institute for the Defense of Free Competition and the Protection of Intellectual Property (INDECOPI); and vice president and director of the Development Corporation of Lima and Callao (CORDELICA).[1]

In the private sphere, he has been president of the National Institute of Law, Mining and Petroleum; and executive director of the Instituto del Ciudadano.[1]

In the 1990s he was the national secretary for the organization of the Liberty Movement, led by Mario Vargas Llosa.[1]

On July 22, 2004, he was sworn in as Minister of Justice, replacing the resigning Baldo Kresalja, thus forming part of the ministerial cabinet chaired by Carlos Ferrero.[3] In February 2005 he resigned and was replaced by Eduardo Salhuana Cavides.[4] Three other ministers resigned with him, in a ministerial change that the government considered necessary while already in the last stretch of his administration.[5]
