Barbara Gucfa, a metro-Detroit-based director at the global business-advisory firm AlixPartners, received congratulations from her colleagues for being named to the 2014 Powered By Women list compiled by Detroit business magazine DBusiness. Gucfa is being featured in the July/August issue of DBusiness, along with seven other female business leaders in the Metro Detroit area.

Gucfa, who joined AlixPartners in 2005, boasts more than 15 years of industry and consulting experience, with multi-national clients in retail, automotive and high tech among other industries.

Her work at AlixPartners has included working on the General Motors turnaround, where she interfaced with that company’s engineering community on matters such as resources, sizing and patents.
