@gabrielaberner
I lead regional data and AI transformation for retail growth across Latin America.
ChileWhat I'm looking for
At Sodimac, part of Falabella Group, I lead the regional data and AI strategy, with initiatives representing 7% of company revenue—$455M USD annually. I drive AI adoption across e-commerce, demand forecasting, supply chain optimization, and commercial analytics.
I’ve built and scaled regional BI, analytics, and data-platform capabilities at IKEA and Sodimac, helping teams across multiple countries make better data-driven decisions.
My background spans supply chain development, replenishment, foreign trade, category management, procurement, and operational planning. I improved supplier on-time delivery by 21%, developed supplier-performance and distribution-center cost models, and implemented the JDA replenishment system.
I care deeply about developing people and data-driven cultures. As a certified ontological coach and a board member of Mujeres Conectadas at Grupo Falabella, I support leadership development and women’s professional growth.
