ABOUT ME
Hi,
my name is Margherita Pasquariello.
​​From young age, I developed a problem-solving mindset that led me to pursue an engineering career. At 18, I left my family home to study Business Management Engineering, 600 miles away, at one of Italy’s most prestigious institutions, the Polytechnic University of Turin. There, I built a strong technical foundation that become my approach to every challenge I face, but also instilled in me the resilience and determination to tackle challenges head-on, which have supported my career in both European and UK environments.
My engineering background has shaped my career across consulting, engineering, and education. Equipping me to lead business strategy and new projects initiatives, to investigate the latest innovation on the market, streamline processes, and drive growth. Guiding business transformation, process improvement, and operational efficiency become second nature to me, while strategic growth remains my core goal—from pioneering logistics and automotive projects across Europe, to lead teams in logistics and manufacturing in UK, to advancing innovation in skills development and education in the most recent years.
Personal Statement
I am a dynamic and strategic senior business leader with over 18 years of expertise in driving business transformation, complex programme management, and value creation. Skilled at building the big picture by combining deep analytical capabilities, market research with forward-looking insights to implement sustainable growth strategies that anticipate market changes and optimise resources. Experienced in data-driven decision-making, business analysis, and the technical design of scalable solutions, as well as alternative delivery models that align with evolving organisational objectives and navigate market uncertainty.
Proficient in engaging stakeholders through clear, impactful communication and leading teams in dynamic environments. Recognised for building and managing high-performing, adaptable teams and establishing governance frameworks that drive both operational efficiency and long-term strategic success.

Approach
Leadership Style
I know business is most successful when teams are engaged, aligned, and motivated, working together toward a shared goal with confidence and clarity. This defines my approach to Leadership.
Visualise goals and the path to achieve them is fundamental, as well as assign key success criteria to evaluate progress and boost team morale in every long term initiative.
By empowering my team to reach their full potential, assign accountability and responsibility, I promote a culture of trust, transparent communication, inclusivity, and active engagement. I prioritise collaboration in decision-making, which enhances ownership and accountability, and by establishing a clear vision, I create an environment where innovation thrives and progress is focused on key milestones.
I value transparency, open communication, frequent updates, celebrate achievements, request promptly support when required and learning sessions from setbacks to grow as a team, keep morale high and be better equipped to face next challenges.
Strategically, I plan Quick Wins throughout the project lifecycle to help maintain motivation and show progress. I Lead by example, showcasing resilience, commitment, and adaptability while continuously seeking feedbacks to improve.
