She began her professional career at Infineon Technologies, where she worked in operations and supply chain management, contributing to process improvement initiatives and operational decision-making in several regions across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the United States. During her MBA, she worked as a strategy consultant with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and several start-ups, supporting senior teams in market analysis, strategic prioritization, and business transformation projects across different industries. In 2021, Marta joined Novartis, where she has held a range of strategic and commercial roles. Her work has focused on shaping go-to-market strategies for new products and driving cross-functional coordination in complex healthcare environments, with particular attention to governance, alignment, and long-term value creation.

At IESE, Marta teaches courses in Decision Analysis and Business Analytics, helping participants structure complex managerial problems, assess trade-offs under uncertainty, and make well-founded decisions that balance analytical rigor with managerial judgment. Her teaching approach emphasizes decision-making as a core leadership responsibility, integrating data, models, and values in real-world organizational contexts.

Marta brings to IESE an integrated perspective that combines engineering rigor, strategic thinking, and practical experience in both consulting and corporate settings, with a strong orientation toward leadership, governance, and responsible decision-making.
