Deborrah Giovanola
Lead Digital Transformation

I help CEOs and their leadership teams navigate the brutal realities of hyper-competitive industries - where cost pressure is relentless, margins are razor-thin, and inefficiencies are fatal.
I have spent my career inside logistics, manufacturing, and high-tech operations -sectors where survival depends on operational excellence.
Today, I lead finance transformation for a global group, designing and implementing automation roadmaps that reduce overheads, accelerate reporting, and free up capacity to reinvest where it matters.
​
What sets me apart is not just my technical fluency in data and digital, but my ability to translate it into business performance:
-
Identifying hidden inefficiencies that bleed competitiveness.
-
Turning fragmented data flows into fast, reliable decision-making.
-
Building lean, automated functions that scale with the business.
​
I act as a sparring partner for CEOs, CFOs, and Chief Transformation Officers who know they must do more than cut costs: they must redeploy resources from yesterday’s inefficiencies to tomorrow’s competitive edge.
​
But who am I really?
