Back to original languageAbout Carole
Advisor to the Executive Director for France at the World Bank, I represent France on the Board of Directors and contribute to high-level strategic decisions.
Specializing in private sector mobilization, I support French companies in defending their interests in financing decisions and facilitate their participation in complex and strategic projects.
I oversee critical sectors such as energy, critical minerals, digital, technological infrastructure, transport, and urban development, ensuring that financing aligns with public priorities and private sector opportunities.
My role involves high-level negotiation and close coordination with French authorities, international partners, and industrial players.
Previously, I served as the Alternate Executive Director for France on the Boards of Directors of the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the Council of Europe Development Bank (CEB), representing French interests in governance and financing.
For nearly ten years at the Ministry of Economy and Finance (Directorate General of the Treasury and Directorate General of Enterprises), I designed and negotiated public financing mechanisms, managed France's relations with multilateral development banks, and supported strategic sectors such as energy, transport, digital, and critical industries.
A graduate in public and private management from HEC Paris and Sciences Po Paris, I possess strong analytical skills and the ability to formulate clear and operational strategic recommendations for Boards of Directors, General Managements, governments, international institutions, and companies.
