About Valentina

Senior Transformation Leader with over 15 years of experience driving large-scale global initiatives at the intersection of People, Technology, and Business Strategy. With a background forged in top-tier consulting (Accenture) and refined in the complex global matrix of luxury leadership (Gucci), I specialize in architecting and delivering complex transformations that align human capital with commercial objectives.
I act as a Strategic Programme & Transformation Director and Change Management Lead for organizations undergoing rapid evolution, ensuring that global projects don’t just "launch" but deliver measurable ROI and cultural adoption.

Core Expertise:

  • Strategic Change Management: I design the "human side" of transformation. I go beyond communication, building robust change architectures, stakeholder engagement matrices, and capability-building programs that mitigate risk and ensure long-term adoption.
  • HR Architecture & Systems Design: Leveraging deep expertise in HRIS migrations, global policy harmonization, and EOR Employer of Record) models to build scalable people operations for distributed, global workforces.
