Her leadership has been associated with a stronger emphasis on simplification, operational agility, and portfolio choices aimed at reinforcing the company’s long-term positioning. She has also played a key role in communicating and implementing the “New Nexity” strategic direction, as the group adapted to a changing real-estate cycle.
