Rafael Barbé

Independent Advisor & Senior Executive | Turnarounds, Commercial Repositioning & Growth Strategies | Retail, Fashion & Consumer Goods

Senior executive with hands-on experience leading restructuring, turnarounds, commercial repositioning, and growth strategies across multiple retail sectors. My career combines strategy consulting with executive leadership—including Managing Director and interim roles—often in complex, financially pressured situations to stabilize operations, restore performance, and build the foundations for growth. Analytical, pragmatic, collaborative, and results-driven. I focus on building ownership, setting clear direction, ensuring cross-functional alignment, and driving disciplined execution with an emphasis on transparency and performance. I partner with Boards, CEOs, and investors to strengthen business models, enhance performance, and deliver profitable growth.
