Selected for their competence and their international experience, the 'Conseillers du Commerce extérieur de la France' (CCE - French Foreign Trade Advisor) are appointed for three years through a prime ministerial decree, on the recommendations of the Minister for Foreign Trade. For more than 115 years, on a voluntary basis, they have been placing their experience at the service of France's economic presence around the world.
As executives and company directors, established internationally, they have daily experience of dealing with the opportunities and risks of the world's markets and they have extensive, hands-on, concrete and very practical information to share. CCEs organise regional colloquiums, conferences and symposiums, normally in partnership with the main institutional stakeholders (regional economic services, Business France, French chambers of commerce abroad, economic advisory units within embassies, etc.) These exchanges enable CCEs and economic decision-makers (French and international) to compare and share their experiences and their analyses. They work to enhance the profile of France and to promote its appeal. Voir moins

As part of the Microsoft Frontlines program, I spent a week in immersion with Gawad Kalinga in Manila, visiting some of their housing projects and meeting with people in their communities. Very concretely, I worked with the Gawad Kalinga leadership team to help them rethinking their internal processes to improve the general efficiency of their NGO in particular to manage the influx of volunteers & support towards the most needy beneficiaries. After the immersion week, we did follow up on the implementation of the new processes to make sure the project was yielding the full expected impact. A very humbling & inspiring experience.
