Yaël L. Yermia

Senior Communication Consultant - Development Financing & Institutional Visibility

On a long-term assignment for a leading French development finance institution, I manage the communication and visibility strategy for programs co-financed by the European Union, in high-impact sectors: financial inclusion, climate finance, renewable energy, cultural and creative industries.

My role covers the entire communication cycle: strategic planning, development of action plans per program, management of editorial and audiovisual productions, coordination of service providers, budget monitoring, compliance with EU visibility requirements (co-branding, mandatory mentions, reporting), and interface with operational and institutional teams, including the European Commission.

Specifically, I craft messages tailored to very different audiences - financial institutions, local SMEs, donors, public officials, specialized media - by articulating complex financial mechanisms (guarantees, blending, technical assistance) in an accessible and engaging way. I oversee the production of videos, articles, LinkedIn content, brochures, and event materials, with a constant focus on editorial quality and brand consistency.

This work involves an integrated consulting approach: I co-develop editorial sequences with the business teams, propose angles, arbitrate priorities, and ensure continuity over time.
