When talking to someone for the first time in a professional context (or when introducing two people to each other in a professional context), it is a good idea to use titles.
Some common titles used with last names in Spanish include:
Doctor / Doctora
Profesor / Profesora
Presidente / Presidenta
Licenciado / Licenciada (with a college degree)
Ingeniero / Ingeniera
Señor / Señora
When addressing a person directly, use TITLE + LAST NAME:
Ingeniero Gallegos, es un placer conocerlo.
Ingeniero Gallegos, le quiero presentar a la Doctora Montrul del Instituto Superior.
When talking about a person in the third person, use a definite article (el or la) before the title:
El Señor Sánchez me dijo que la Profesora Jackson se mudó.
