About

Aligning business objectives with technology requirements.

Iván Marcano leads teams in ecommerce, IT, marketing and e-retail for luxury, beauty and entertainment brands. He works on both sides — the commercial plan and the systems behind it — with leadership and with the teams that execute.

He has been through two digital transformations in complex matrix organizations. At L’Occitane en Provence, he supported the move of 19 interconnected systems to Salesforce Commerce Cloud, then led their maintenance. At Aesop, he oversees the move from SAP Hybris to L’Oréal’s Salesforce stack. His ecommerce programs have achieved double-digit and, at times, triple-digit annual revenue growth.

Born and raised in Venezuela, he lived and worked in Canada for more than ten years and is now based in New York.
