Raffaella Campagnoli
Founding Partner & Managing Director
Raffaella has spent more than twenty-five years advising consumer, retail and luxury businesses across four continents — including nine years as Managing Director of Accenture Strategy for the Middle East & Turkey, where she built the regional strategy practice from the ground up.
She founded LIRA to offer what large firms structurally cannot: senior counsel, delivered personally, at the moments that determine a company's value — recovery, growth, and the sale or acquisition of the business itself. An advisor, board member and investor.
