Background
Marita Rancé joined Impress as legal vice president earlier this year, bringing nearly a decade of in-house legal experience from food delivery giant Glovo, where she served as general counsel.
At Impress, a Barcelona-based chain of orthodontic clinics, Rancé now heads the company’s legal strategy. Her responsibilities cover compliance, data protection and corporate governance. These three areas have grown sharply in importance for health and technology-driven businesses that operate across multiple markets and face rising regulatory scrutiny.
Rancé spent nine years at Glovo before making the switch, a period during which the company scaled rapidly across dozens of countries. Working through that kind of growth gave her direct exposure to the legal and operational pressures that come with running a business at speed across different regulatory environments.
Her move to Impress comes at a time when the clinic chain is looking to grow its footprint beyond Spain. Bringing in a legal head with cross-border experience and a strong compliance background fits that direction. The appointment points to a deliberate effort by Impress to get its legal infrastructure in order before scaling further.
Before her time at Glovo, Rancé worked as a partner in the tax practice at Giménez-Salinas. She also held positions as a lawyer and tax advisor at Garrigues and Malet and Asociados, two well-known names in Spanish legal and professional services. That background across private practice and in-house roles gives her a wide range of legal skills that few executives bring to a single position.
Rancé holds a law degree from Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona and a master’s degree in tax advisory and management from Esade, one of Spain’s most respected business schools. The combination of academic grounding and hands-on experience across multiple sectors makes her a strong fit for the demands of her new role at Impress.
