Racha is one of the strongest digital leads in the business and continues to make an impact both on L’Oreal as well as the agency side.

Bio

After earning 4 degrees in Digital, E-Commerce & Information Systems, I started my career in the e-commerce fashion industry, where I had the opportunity to work across different countries, including Denmark, Germany & Mainland China.

I later joined L’Oreal Luxury Division in Dubai in 2016 as a Digital Manager for Kiehl’s, Urban Decay, Clarisonic & Atelier Cologne.

In 2019 I joined the Consumer Products Division & in my current role, I head the digital transformation for this division, focusing on Digital & Performance Media, E-commerce, Innovations & Technologies

Guiding principles

A famous saying tells us that we have our known knowns; we know what we know.

We have our knowns unknows; we know what we don’t know.

But more and more the world is filled with unknown unknowns, meaning to keep succeeding more & more we need agility, collaboration & curiosity to keep growing and adapting to the never normal.

How has Covid-19 changed your job?

After a decade of digital becoming “normal”, it was some sort of a digital test. Every company & individual had to figure out if they could survive in a world where digital was our only option.

Covid was a big digital transformation accelerator pushing us to think digital-first & take our e-commerce business to the next level in my role, emphasizing more than ever the importance of agility.

Side hustle

You’ll always find me on a plane spending time in my favourite places or discovering a new country, culture & cuisine.
