Early life and education

She graduated from the University of the Basque Country with a bachelor's degree in economics and completed a postgraduate degree in social economy, cooperative companies and labor companies also at the University of the Basque Country.[8]

Lavín also studied music and piano at the Municipal Conservatory of Sestao and later at the Municipal Conservatory of Bilbao, where she studied piano, which made it compatible with her university degree in economics.[9] This came from the family, since her sister and her mother are also pianists (her mother plays the church organ and is a member of the parish choir).

Career

Very attached to the Basque business field, from a young age she dedicated herself to the world of business, focusing on cooperative companies and public companies and private-equity firms, as well as the chief financial officer (CFO) in several companies, also with a presence on board of directors (among others, in those of Eroski in the Mondragón Corporation, of venture capital companies and seed capital companies) and also as a liquidator of companies.

In 1998 she started working at "SSI Group" and in 2010 she became the chief financial officer (CFO) and member of the board of directors of the same.

Her greatest notoriety came from the field of business organizations and employers' organization. She is a member of different business organizations and federations of social economy companies. In 2019 she was elected president of the Federation of Cooperative Companies of the Basque Country (ERKIDE), being the first woman to hold the position.[10][11][12]
