Director of Policy and Programs

Mar 2005 – Apr 2020 · 15 yrs 1 mo · Marseille Area, France

After two and a half years as Executive Assistant at this international Non-Profit Organization that works to inform and mobilize water experts, decision-makers and the public at large, in order to improve access to water and sanitation for all, I became coordinator for the organisation of the World Water Forum. The Council's flagship event, the Forum is organised once every three years in a different host country and seeks to bring people together from every horizon to discuss challenges related to water and sanitation and to propose concrete solutions. In addition to my Forum responsibilities, I was promoted to the role of Director of Policy and Programs in 2014 and have been engaging more deeply in external relations leading our work on substantive issues (e.g. water security, financing, cities, climate change, IWRM) in collaboration with members and partners throughout the world.
