Sandrine Woirnesson

With over 30 years of experience in finance—including the last 15 years in senior leadership roles across the retail sector—I bring a rare blend of financial acumen, operational insight, and global perspective to the boardroom. Born and educated in France, and having worked across Asia and now the Middle East, I’ve navigated diverse business cultures and economic landscapes. I’ve served as CFO, COO, and Managing Director in both multinational corporations and privately-owned businesses, often leading strategic transformations and operational turnarounds.

Retail companies with global ambitions—or those facing the need for restructuring, realignment, or growth in complex markets—stand to benefit most from my expertise. I also bring a strong voice as a woman in business, with a leadership style grounded in resilience, pragmatism, and collaboration. As a board member, I aim to contribute not only strategic and financial oversight, but also culturally aware, inclusive, and forward-thinking leadership.
