Jorge Rosenblut Ratinoff (7 July 1952) is a Chilean engineer, academic, businessman and consultant, and the former president of ENDESA, the Latin American branch of the Italian-based ENEL Group.
Rosenblut is a vocal supporter of the Pacific Alliance and has written extensively on the subject. In 2013 Rosenblut wrote a guest post for the Financial Times online edition in which he expressed his conviction that the Pacific Alliance, of which Chile is a member, represents a "seismic shift in Latin American integration" by standing together "in what promises to be a historic breakthrough for the region". During a speech in Washington DC, also in April 2013, Rosenblut described the Pacific Alliance as "a route to join the league of highly developed nations".
Rosenblut studied at the Instituto Nacional General José Miguel Carrera and then went on to study industrial civil engineering at the University of Chile, where he then continued his academic activities after he had graduated.
In the 1980s, he studied for a master's degree in Public Administration at the University of Harvard in the United States, where he had travelled to be with his then wife, Liora Haymann.
He was working at the World Bank in North America when he received a call from Edgardo Boeninger, who invited Rosenblut to work with him in the Ministry General Secretariat of the Presidency (Spanish: Ministerio Secretaría General de la Presidencia), specifically as the Head of the Inter-ministerial Division.
His first foray into the world of business came in 1994, as undersecretary of telecommunications in Chile, when he got the multicarrier off the ground following challenging negotiations with the major companies including CTC, Entel and Telex-Chile. He was subsequently one of those closest to Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, who named him general undersecretary to the President’s office, second to Genaro Arriagada.
