Barbara is a STEM graduate and qualified Actuary, Barbara has always worked in the Insurance sector. She started her career in a multinational consulting firm, where she worked in Uk, Spain, and France. After an experience for a British insurer, she joined a French insurance company where she is Technical Director managing a team of about 130 people + 30 robots ( she has a knack for automation and AI) and a member of the Executive Committee.

She strongly believes that it is fundamental to show the new generations that women can have also a ‘vertical’ career and have the ability to manage a team or an organization. Too many women now can say that they were the first or the only ones in the job. An equal gender mix at any stage should be normal in any working place.

Having always worked for international companies, Barbara considers it very enriching to be part of an association where professions, nationalities, and backgrounds are so mixed and different. “Work hard, play hard” is a motto that applies to her management philosophy.

She looks forward to contributing to creating new opportunities for PWA’s development and networking activities.
