Luciana Ionescu is an amazing professional who has an extended and varied multi-cultural experience. In December 2023, JCDecaux Portugal started a consultancy project with Luciana utilizing the Hofstede Insights (now The Culture Factor Group) methodology and her expertise. This project has added immense value to our organization, which allowed us to comprehend current culture, analyse the gap between cultures and adapt, and define the ideal environment in which we can succeed. Luciana played a key role in helping JCDecaux Portugal to reflect on its future. The result of this successful initiative is the implementation of these practices which will allow JCDecaux Portugal to prosper further. I highly recommend the consulting service of Luciana Ionescu for all companies.
