🌍 Who is Luana Franco, LF Strategic Consulting's founder and managing director?
As the Founder and Managing Director of Luana Franco Strategic Consulting, I bring to the table a wealth of executive leadership experience coupled with a razor-sharp strategic mindset. With a robust background in strategy, data analytics, process improvement, and program management, I have spent over 15 years at the forefront of management consultancy in global markets.
My track record speaks volumes—I've led end-to-end implementations and integrations, spearheaded start-up setups and roadmaps, and coached diverse teams across multiple industries on a global scale. I'm not just a leader; I'm a proactive self-starter with a keen sense of ownership, adept at navigating complex organizations and leading with authority even in the absence of formal power structures.
I excel in developing and implementing process improvement standards in complex, matrixed, and large company environments—areas where others often falter. My deep understanding of business finance, encompassing cost allocation, budget planning, forecasting, and responsible management of P&L and KPIs, ensures that every decision I make is grounded in financial acumen and strategic foresight.
My forte lies in my analytical prowess, problem-solving finesse, negotiating savvy, and ability to influence outcomes. I thrive in fast-paced environments, where my multicultural background enables me to lead high-functioning teams that adapt seamlessly to change.
Furthermore, I possess exceptional communication skills, allowing me to effectively engage and educate stakeholders across technical and non-technical domains. My proficiency in facilitation, organizational management, and prioritization, coupled with a relentless focus on leveraging technology for strategic advantage, sets me apart as a true leader in the field.
With fluency in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese, I am uniquely positioned to navigate and lead in diverse cultural landscapes with ease. At Luana Franco Strategic Consulting, my commitment to excellence and unwavering dedication to driving transformative growth for our clients underscores every decision we make.
