About Rebeca

I have led the 360° transformation of a €1 billion company: strategy, organization, digital, change management. From the Executive Committee to the ground level, I write the strategy with the teams, plan it, and deliver it.

Today, I am co-creating Serge, an entrepreneurial project at the intersection of tech and retail.
In parallel, I accept a limited number of assignments where my experience creates an immediate impact: Strategic PMO, IT Restructuring, Interim COO, Chief of Staff, Transformation Management, Coaching.

My areas of expertise:

- Transformation Leadership & Governance in the Executive Committee
- Corporate Strategy & Operational Deployment
- IS Redesign & Urbanization (ERP, e-commerce, data)
- Transversal Management & Organization Structuring (up to 200+ people)
- Digitalization of Customer & Employee Journeys
- Growth and Scalability Management

I am committed to breaking down silos, building aligned teams, and delivering measurable results.

I also share my experience in conferences and roundtables on topics of corporate transformation, leadership, and scalability.

Commitment to results, not to the means.
