I’m Florencia Giampaoletti. I help organisations get change right, from defining what a project needs to preparing the people it will affect, before it begins and throughout delivery.
I began working on BBC TV Licensing in 2017, and have worked as a Business Analyst since 2021 for organisations including Elevate Global, Pret A Manger and PureGym. Across all of it, I saw the same pattern. Projects rarely fail on the technology. They fail when requirements are unclear, when the people affected aren’t brought along, or when nobody plans for what could go wrong.
That’s the work I focus on now.
The name
Finca is Spanish for an estate: land that is worked and cared for over years, not seasons. Barakah is an Arabic word with no real English equivalent. It’s often translated as blessing, but it means more than that: a goodness from God that makes something grow beyond its size and endure beyond its moment. Barakah can’t be manufactured. It’s sought, by doing things honestly, with the right intention and with care.
That’s the standard I hold my work to: doing the groundwork properly, and doing it the right way, so that what we build together takes root and lasts.
How I work
I always start with analysis before change. Understanding the problem properly is what stops a project from solving the wrong one. Engagements are fixed-scope and milestone-based, so you know what you’re getting and when.
My values – integrity, care for the people change affects, and getting things right – guide which projects I take on, how I work, and the quality of the work I deliver.
Based in Muscat, working across Oman and the UK
Finca Barakah is registered in both markets – as Rawdat Al-Barakah for Business SPC in Oman and Finca Barakah Ltd in the UK. I’m especially focused on supporting organisations in Oman as they modernise their operations in line with Oman Vision 2040.
