How long have you worked at the IAIS and how did you join the organisation?
I joined the IAIS a little over four years ago after a two-year break from work to stay at home with my children. I was very fortunate to find this opportunity as I was searching for a job within an international organisation and the IAIS was a perfect match.
Prior to my current role, I had been working for the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris on anti-corruption, corporate social responsibility and competition law issues. Before that, I had worked for the French government on youth and poverty issues and had also completed a communications internship with the UN World Food Programme’s liaison office in Paris.
What are the key projects you are currently working on?
My work at the IAIS is varied. I share my time between providing administrative support for our Secretary General and working as part of our Communications and Stakeholder events team. Until recently, I also organised the meetings of our Executive Committee. One recent project I am very proud of is the IAIS Year in Review 2021, the culmination of almost eight months of efforts.
How do you find living in Basel?
I actually live next to the Swiss border, in France. However, it is only a 20-minute bike ride from my home to the office. Living in such a multi-cultural area provides many benefits for my family. It is easy to take a day trip to Switzerland or Germany and enjoy different cultural activities, food, sceneries and languages.
What do you like best about your job?
I love the fact that we are a small, very diverse and creative team that takes pride in addressing difficult issues such as climate change.
