“I’m the daughter of a diplomat, born in Brussels where I spent the first two years of my life, before moving every few years. I’ve lived in Spain, Vietnam, Australia and Bulgaria, I studied in Spain at Esade, then did my Master CEMS in Canada, an internship in Nicaragua and worked for five years in a consultancy company that allowed me to live between Africa and Latin America. I’ve been in Brussels since 2017. I’m the local representative of La Liga, the Spanish professional football league. I support its work in the institutional field: collaboration with Spanish authorities and European institutions in matters such as integrity and security, the fight against piracy, the regulatory framework that e-sports are taking, the impact of Brexit on player transfers, CSR projects, and even the fight against gender inequality in the sports industry. I love sports, so try to go to the gym every day and, should the weather allow, workout outdoors. I really enjoy the cultural scene of Brussels, so will head to any new art exhibition or launch. Brussels is ideal for networking and it’s perfect for weekend getaways. To me it’s a very cosy and easy city and it’s at the heart of everything that involves and impacts Europe; I think it’s
fascinating!”

I was born in the 60s and I consider myself a "Perennial", the ageless generation! . In 2013 I celebrated the fiftieth anniversary. Being surplus quota allowed me to get rid of the Military Service, finish my academic training and enter the labor market without interruptions.
I consider myself the fruit of multinationals. I accumulate more than 30 years of experience in 3 technology companies. During these 6 years I have had the luxury of leading strategic and operational areas. Having a permanent, avant-garde and real-time training is priceless! 7 years ago I focused on promoting intrapreneurship and managing change processes.
Since April 2019 I have a new challenge in Schneider Electric: direct the strategy and implement the new Client Software platforms to improve your user experience in the journey towards the Digital Transformation of the complex B2B environment.
All this multicultural and multidisciplinary baggage gives me a broad business vision and an enormous capacity for adaptation, as well as the virtue of promoting transformation projects, or business development, in highly volatile and uncertain VUCA scenarios.
On a personal level, I have a passion to undertake, innovate and motivate teams. I love technology and simplicity, I like intrigues, dilemmas and the art of magic, as well as reinventing day to day. My experience in intrapreneurship encourages me to advise startups and, my motivation for innovation and technology, lead me to support ESADE Alumni within the Board of Directors of the Business Innovation & Technologies Club and the ESADE Business Angels network BAN, as "collaborative startup advisor".
I have learned that companies are "living beings", with the obligation to evolve. If they don't, they disappear. As I would say @Darwin, it is a simple matter of adaptation!

Empecé mi vida profesional en HP y allí fue donde decidí que tenía que reorientar mi carrera y ponerme a estudiar en Esade. Esto me abriría las puertas a trabajar en los departamentos de Calidad y, posteriormente, de Compras.
Al cabo de trece años, tomé la decisión de empezar de nuevo en otra multinacional, Henkel, donde estoy trabajando a día hoy. Empecé en Recursos Humanos llevando la nómina de una fábrica. Progresivamente, fui asumiendo más responsabilidades, hasta que un día me ofrecieron llevar la dirección de Recursos Humanos, que es mi cargo actual desde hace ya casi diez años.
Como responsable de Recursos Humanos, tengo el mandato de fortalecer a todo el equipo humano de Henkel Iberia, coordinando tres pilares: HR Business Partners, donde contribuimos activamente a la estrategia empresarial y la traducimos en capacidades organizativas y personales; Centros de Expertise, donde impulsamos programas y procesos de recursos humanos estratégicos, innovadores, eficientes y competitivos, basados en las necesidades del negocio, y finalmente Operaciones de HR, donde ofrecemos el mejor servicio, mejoramos continuamente e impulsamos procesos más eficientes.
A escala local, en Recursos Humanos actuamos como la interfaz principal de una organización global que impulsa la ejecución a través de la colaboración con los negocios.
Me encantan el aprendizaje y la transmisión del conocimiento, y tener el estímulo de sorprenderme cada día con novedades. Quizás por todo esto, he dedicado parte de mi trayectoria profesional a los contenidos editoriales, tratando de contribuir a aquellos proyectos que pueden enriquecer a otras personas de cualquier lugar del mundo. Y seguramente esto también me ha llevado a participar en el Club Industrias Culturales y Creativas Esade Alumni, un foro donde compartir conocimientos y coincidir con otras personas para enriquecernos mutuamente.

I was born in the 60s and I consider myself a "Perennial", the ageless generation! . In 2013 I celebrated the fiftieth anniversary. Being surplus quota allowed me to get rid of the Military Service, finish my academic training and enter the labor market without interruptions.
I consider myself the fruit of multinationals. I accumulate more than 30 years of experience in 3 technology companies. During these 6 years I have had the luxury of leading strategic and operational areas. Having a permanent, avant-garde and real-time training is priceless! 7 years ago I focused on promoting intrapreneurship and managing change processes.
Since April 2019 I have a new challenge in Schneider Electric: direct the strategy and implement the new Client Software platforms to improve your user experience in the journey towards the Digital Transformation of the complex B2B environment.
All this multicultural and multidisciplinary baggage gives me a broad business vision and an enormous capacity for adaptation, as well as the virtue of promoting transformation projects, or business development, in highly volatile and uncertain VUCA scenarios.
On a personal level, I have a passion to undertake, innovate and motivate teams. I love technology and simplicity, I like intrigues, dilemmas and the art of magic, as well as reinventing day to day. My experience in intrapreneurship encourages me to advise startups and, my motivation for innovation and technology, lead me to support ESADE Alumni within the Board of Directors of the Business Innovation & Technologies Club and the ESADE Business Angels network BAN, as "collaborative startup advisor".
I have learned that companies are "living beings", with the obligation to evolve. If they don't, they disappear. As I would say @Darwin, it is a simple matter of adaptation!
Digital optimist addressing the change of era, I work at the Endesa Digital Transformation Office, with a specific focus on the business vision ("economics" and planning), implementation of the agile methodology and digitalization initiatives. On the other hand, I am part of the Board of an investment club in digital startups.
In the last professional stage I developed functions of management control, development of dashboards for senior management and participation in strategic projects in Enel.
Previously, 11 years managing teams and projects of an organizational and operational type, negotiating with public administrations, cooperating with multiple departments of the company and with suppliers.
I have grown in 5 different countries, which has given me the ability to work in multicultural environments and be very adaptable to changes.

Most recently in January 2021, I was relocated to the global HQ in Vevey Switzerland. I am now part of the Manufacturing Global Performance Acceleration Team. Based in Switzerland, we are sent on 6-month missions to support Nestle factories around the globe in achieving business critical results in a very short period of time.
My current role reminds me of my ESADE MBA Experience because it is a very dynamic, multicultural, and diverse team working together. Given my continuous mobility, I haven't had enough chances to participate in ESADE Alumni activities but I now look forward to being more involved as a board member of the MBA Club.

I got my degree (Lic&MBA was the title back then) in 1998, and also part of the CEMS community. I am an all-terrain manager (o culo inquieto), having lived in 5 countries, worked for 4 companies (I am a loyal culo inquieto, after all), 4+ sectors, and moved through the companies' functions and types... finance, project management, sales and marketing, supply chain and more recently HR and consulting... in both multinational and SME's. Still lots to learn, always and forever, while we last.
I am always happy to land a helping hand to those who need it and I love when the projects end up well... which is more difficult than the spreadsheets and consultants always say.
I like team sports, history, travel, arts, food and wine and interesting people. I am rather opinionated but love to exchange (and challenge) ideas, and my best friends' first impressions of me apparently were rather negative... meaning I probably improve with time.

My name is Lucia Lagunas, I am 28 years old and I have a Law Degree from the Public University of Navarra. Subsequently, I completed an optional Master's Degree in Access to Law, completing it with the postgraduate course in International Business Law, at the Esade Law School.
Simultaneously to my specialization in international business law, I took the course of Skills and Management for lawyers, in Esade. This new training has allowed me to acquire more international knowledge applied at all times to Spanish and European Law, as well as to develop new essential skills in the practice of the 21st century, such as leadership, negotiation, work. as a team, motivation and empathy, among others.
I consider myself a proactive, disciplined person, with initiative and eager for improvement every day.
Regarding my professional aspect, I started doing internships in Pamplona, in the area of Corporate Law at ARPA Abogados Consultores and subsequently, I undertook an international career in the legal department of a German company, VR. LEASING, Aktiengesellschaft, located in Frankfurt (Germany).
Once in Spain again, I have worked for two and a half years as a lawyer in the area of Real Estate & Foreign Investment in an office in Barcelona and currently, I continue to train and work as a lawyer in the area of Corporate & New Technologies in the office of Miliners SLP lawyers.
I was born in the 60s and I consider myself a "Perennial", the ageless generation! . In 2013 I celebrated the fiftieth anniversary. Being surplus quota allowed me to get rid of the Military Service, finish my academic training and enter the labor market without interruptions.
I consider myself the fruit of multinationals. I accumulate more than 30 years of experience in 3 technology companies. During these 6 years I have had the luxury of leading strategic and operational areas. Having a permanent, avant-garde and real-time training is priceless! 7 years ago I focused on promoting intrapreneurship and managing change processes.
Since April 2019 I have a new challenge in Schneider Electric: direct the strategy and implement the new Client Software platforms to improve your user experience in the journey towards the Digital Transformation of the complex B2B environment.
All this multicultural and multidisciplinary baggage gives me a broad business vision and an enormous capacity for adaptation, as well as the virtue of promoting transformation projects, or business development, in highly volatile and uncertain VUCA scenarios.
On a personal level, I have a passion to undertake, innovate and motivate teams. I love technology and simplicity, I like intrigues, dilemmas and the art of magic, as well as reinventing day to day. My experience in intrapreneurship encourages me to advise startups and, my motivation for innovation and technology, lead me to support ESADE Alumni within the Board of Directors of the Business Innovation & Technologies Club and the ESADE Business Angels network BAN, as "collaborative startup advisor".
I have learned that companies are "living beings", with the obligation to evolve. If they don't, they disappear. As I would say @Darwin, it is a simple matter of adaptation!
