Clara has spent more than 25 years in large and very large multinational high-tech enterprises where she has managed at 360° the activities of external and internal communications for European and worldwide customers. She has been responsible for a team of specialists based in different countries and she has worked with agencies, strategic consultants and executive leaders. From PR to executive communications, through to brand management, events, advertising and the publication of articles and social content, Clara has worked in (almost) all the communications domains and for a global audience.
Clara has worked on complex projects of strategic communications and she has dealt with change and crisis management especially in the field of mergers, acquisitions, closures and restructuring.
