About

Ariadna Grañena leads the Iberian legal and tax department of Reckitt Benckiser (RB), a multinational consumer goods company. She joined the company in 2007 as tax manager, following a successful private practice career in two law firms, where she specialised in tax law. One year later, she became responsible for both the tax and legal, after the two areas were merged into one department. During her time in this role, Grañena has instilled a new culture of operation with the legal department, which placed the legal decisions and consultation at the heart of the business. She believes that the biggest recognition for the change she implemented was her appointment at the company’s executive committee. ‘It’s my biggest personal achievement, not only because of the position, but because it is a recognition of the daily work I do every day’, she comments proudly.
