About Farida

With over 12 years of experience, I am a corporate communication professional. Throughout my career, starting at BNP Paribas in Milan to my role as Director of Communication at Réseau Entreprendre, I have honed my expertise by working in diverse sectors such as luxury, media, technology, and entrepreneurship.

Highly experienced in 360° communication, my strong appetite for press relations (France and International) has enabled me to support companies as diverse as Publicis Groupe and Réseau Entreprendre in their transformation.
My achievements within Publicis Groupe are a good example. I joined when the Group announced its transformation into 3 centers of expertise, celebrated its 90th anniversary by creating Viva Technology, and underwent a leadership succession (Maurice Lévy handing over his CEO position to Arthur Sadoun). By skillfully managing the specificities of these topics, I managed to generate interest from media and stakeholders through my ability to grasp the company's strategic objectives and simplify them for its various audiences.

Furthermore, although I have worked within large companies, my great adaptability and strong ability to understand my clients' needs led me to take on the direction of communication for Réseau Entreprendre, a federation of associations supporting entrepreneurs. Under my leadership, media coverage increased by 45%, encompassing both general and specialized press, particularly on impact (CSR) topics, a renewal of content (website redesign, corporate film), and event organization (Réseau Entreprendre Biennale, Publicis Groupe Investor Days...).
