As a C-level executive, FABIANA LACERCA-ALLEN has led global teams in the development and management of comprehensive compliance strategies and initiatives at Fortune 100 pharmaceutical and biotech companies. Lacerca-Allen is recognized for her ability to build compliance-based cultures and provide legal guidance to international leaders and boards. She is regularly sought out for crisis and risk management advice, and she influences leading companies on critical matters including product approval, commercialization, FDA and OIG compliance, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and corporate governance. Throughout her career, Fabiana Lacerca-Allen has taken the lead to negotiate, implement, and carry out corporate integrity agreements, deferred prosecution agreements, and consent decrees. She is often asked to carry out security training and offers mentoring and advice to many professionals. Originally from Argentina, Lacerca-Allen resides in California with her husband and three children.“Some things are worth dying for. For everything else, you need a plan.”
Fabiana Lacerca-Allen’s father spoke these words to her when she was just a child, and at the time they put her on her professional path. She still lives by them today, as she carries out C-level roles for Fortune 100 companies and serves as a trusted advisor and board member for various organizations.
In her book, Lacerca-Allen shares her upbringing in Argentina, as she grew up during the time of military dictatorship in the country, when kidnappings were frequent, and she and her loved ones were targets. She longed to stand up and make a difference for her family, her friends, and her country…and during the years that followed, she did. After watching her father lead efforts for a democratic government, and then serve as the first state secretary of industry for the elected government, Lacerca-Allen earned a law degree in Argentina and went on to the U.S. to further study and get a master’s degree in law.
Drawing on her background and experiences with high-stakes negotiations and value-driven leadership, Lacerca-Allen rose quickly to the top positions at well-known companies, where she has led global teams in compliance for the past three decades. Now, as she serves on boards and mentors young professionals, Lacerca-Allen regularly shares her experiences as a way to teach others how to be aware of their surroundings, improve their leadership strategies, and make decisions with the information they have.
Readers will learn of a time when Lacerca-Allen’s family escaped a threat to their survival, along with a kidnapping attempt that took place at the apartment complex where she received tutoring for math. Lacerca-Allen tells of her father teaching her the “Six-Month Rule” to help her navigate her opportunities in the U.S. and how she negotiated for a relocation package, only to learn the need to self-assess and advocate for herself. She discusses the key components to being socially aware and picking up signs that others might overlook in both your life and workplace.
Readers will learn ways to carry out negotiations, manage the “gray areas” where it’s not easy to see what is correct and what is now, and how to walk away from an environment that doesn’t align with your values. By using emotional intelligence, Lacerca-Allen emphasizes that together we can inspire change, create more diverse settings, and be prepared to face whatever comes our way. After reading this book, you’ll be ready to step out into the world as a true warrior, ready to make a difference in your own life and the lives of others.
If you’re ready to live according to your values, to create a plan that you can follow, and to form a tribe of people who support you in life and work, keep reading. In her first book, Fabiana Lacerca-Allen takes you along on her journey of critical moments that she has experienced, including kidnapping attempts and high-stake international negotiations.

"I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Fabiana over the past decade and I am honored to call her my friend and mentor. Over the years Fabiana has earned and continues to garner my loyalty and respect. She leads from the front and lives her truth in her daily interactions with people. What makes Fabiana an exceptional leader is her ability to push you out of your comfort zone, empower you, and then give you the space to falter and then ultimately flourish. She humanizes the employer-employee relationship and fosters connection and community. She protects her team and always uses the limelight to highlight the individual as well as the team’s efforts. She is a woman of the people, but do not confuse her integrity and kindness for weakness, because she probably the strongest, most diplomatic no-bs woman I have come across. I will always be indebted to Fabiana because she made me push past my insecurities and realize my full potential."
