Who is Mar Mollet
Mar M. is the Chief Operations Officer of Her Expat Life, executive mentor, and strategist dedicated to empowering women entrepreneurs through emotional intelligence, authentic leadership, and global collaboration.
A Journey Rooted in Empathy and Purpose
In a world where leadership often equates to authority, Mar Mollet stands as a quiet revolution. She leads not through command, but through connection blending emotional intelligence, strategic insight, and an unwavering commitment to empowering women. From the classrooms of Catalonia to international boardrooms, Mar’s journey tells a story of transformation fuelled by empathy, authenticity, and the courage to show up.
“Showing up matters doing good and doing better leads to blooming.” These words, shared during her mentorship at Esade Ennova Ideaup, echo the philosophy that runs through every chapter of her life.
Psychology, Education, and Emotional Intelligence
Mar’s foundation is deeply anchored in human understanding. A graduate in Educational Psychology from the University of Barcelona, she later complemented her expertise with a Master’s in Digital Marketing from the UOC, creating a rare bridge between human behaviour and digital strategy.
Her early career in education — from teaching to psychopedagogical guidance — instilled in her a fascination with how people learn, adapt, and evolve. During her time as a trainer and educational consultant at the Col·legi Oficial de Psicologia de Catalunya and Diputació de Barcelona, she cultivated a pedagogy that intertwined emotion with learning. Her reflective blog, Reflexions entorn a la formació, still stands as a testament to her belief that “a great trainer combines their knowledge with that of their learners to create shared meaning in an inspiring environment.”
These formative years shaped her ethos: learning and leadership are not linear; they are collaborative acts of courage and connection.
From Educator to Entrepreneurial Mentor
Transitioning from the academic world into entrepreneurship, Mar brought her human-first mindset into business. Her journey evolved as she took on roles that married education with innovation, creativity with strategy. Her tenure as Chief Growth Officer and now Chief Operations Officer at Her Expat Life Ltd marks the crescendo of this evolution.
At Her Expat Life, Mar leads initiatives that connect globally-minded women through purposeful events and professional networks. Her leadership has helped the organisation grow into a vibrant international community that empowers female entrepreneurs to thrive abroad. Whether orchestrating strategic training events in Barcelona or virtual mentorship sessions across continents, Mar brings authenticity to every interaction.
“Meaningful relationships are at the heart of a thriving global lifestyle.”
This quote from one of her posts encapsulates the soul of Her Expat Life — and the leadership philosophy that defines Mar.
Building Bridges Across Borders
What sets Mar apart is her ability to unite diverse worlds. Her career seamlessly spans education, marketing, leadership, and cross-cultural mentorship. As a strategic partnership builder and executive mentor for startups and corporates, she transforms connections into collaborations and ideas into impact.
Her work at Gluecharm, a tech firm where she has served as both Fractional CMO and Business Development Associate, reflects this blend of strategic acumen and creative empathy. Through this platform, she champions innovation while ensuring technology remains human-centred. In her own words:
“A chat requires context. We provide the necessary one — that’s the difference between conversation and confidence.”
Her contributions to global discussions on AI, communication, and leadership mirror her belief that progress must always serve people first.
Writing from the Heart
Mar’s pen is as powerful as her presence. Through her portfolio on Clippings.me, she writes with compassion, intellect, and relatability. Her essays — from “The New Definition of Success” to “Living a Heart-Centered Life” — invite readers to redefine professional growth through emotional authenticity and seasonal balance.
“A person who knows how to adjust to every season of life is a valuable asset to every company.”
This insight not only reflects her philosophy on adaptability but also her belief in the importance of holistic success — where personal values and professional vision align.
Her writing voice transcends borders and industries, echoing a universal truth: empathy is not a soft skill; it is a strategic one.
Empowering Women Through Authentic Leadership
As a mentor, coach, and advocate for women in business, Mar has guided countless professionals toward self-awareness and success. Under her leadership, Her Expat Life has reached over 3,000 women, providing them with tools, visibility, and the courage to pursue their ambitions internationally.
Her LinkedIn posts capture this collective energy: celebrations in Barcelona, panels with global leaders, and heartfelt gratitude toward every connection made. These are not just events; they are ecosystems of empowerment where women support each other across cultures and continents.
Her former colleague Ramón Buisan, a Finance Director and HR specialist, describes her best:
“Mar embodies excellence. Responsible, professional, and decisive, always eager to take the next step forward. Her analytical and decision-making abilities make her an invaluable asset to any organisation. An ideal teammate for any collaborative environment.”
Such praise echoes through every collaboration she leads — whether in business, writing, or education.
The Vision: Leading with Presence and Purpose
Mar’s leadership style rests on a simple yet profound principle: presence. To her, showing up — consistently, courageously, and compassionately — is the most powerful act of leadership. Whether mentoring a startup founder or guiding an international team, she reminds others that success begins with human connection.
Her future vision is clear: to continue shaping a world where empathy and excellence coexist; where women lead not by imitation, but by inspiration. She envisions expanding her mentorship network and launching new initiatives within Her Expat Life to nurture the next generation of female leaders.
A Legacy of Empowerment
Mar M. represents a new kind of executive — one who balances intellect with intuition, business with humanity. Her story is not about climbing ladders but building bridges; not about leading followers, but empowering equals.
In every venture she touches, her presence becomes the catalyst for courage, collaboration, and change. Through her example, she reminds us that true leadership is not about titles or accolades — it is about creating spaces where others can rise.
“The power of presence is not in being seen, but in seeing others — and helping them shine.”
