Biography
Moreno moved from Cape Verde to France with her family in the late 1970s, in order for them to access medical infrastructure to treat Moreno's younger sister for burns. Her career has included growing a company in the construction sector that she created with her husband, four years at France Telecom, and later at Dell. In 2006 she obtained an Executive MBA from ESSEC Business School and the University of Mannheim.[3]
Before entering politics, Moreno worked as vice-president and managing director of Hewlett-Packard for Africa from 2019 until 2020, based in South Africa, and as president of Lenovo France from 2017 until 2019.[4]
Under Moreno’s leadership, the French government successfully introduced a bill intended to protect victims of domestic violence, allowing doctors to break patient confidentiality if they believe a life is "in immediate danger".[5]
