ABOUT MARA MANDERA
I believe the future of any organization is shaped by its people – and the culture we create around them. As Group Director People & Culture at Damovo, I bring 15+ years of international leadership experience to the table – from IT and Automotive to Manufacturing, TIC, Chemicals, and Tourism.Throughout my career, I’ve led people strategies through transformation, growth, and change – with a strong focus on leadership development, employee engagement, talent strategy, and organizational culture. I’ve guided international teams through M&A and post-merger integrations, built future-oriented operating models, and driven complex change programs across borders.My approach is people-first and business-driven: creating cultures where learning is continuous, inclusion is intentional, and transformation becomes part of how we work – not just a one-off initiative.Curious by nature, collaborative by choice – always building with the future in mind.#PeopleAndCulture #Leadership #OrganizationalCulture #MergersAndAcquisitions #ChangeLeadership #LearningCulture #Inclusion #Diversity #EmployeeExperience #FutureOfWork #Transformation #TalentStrategy #GlobalLeadership #CultureMatters
