Coworkers & Mentees
Justin Park, Project Officer / International Organization for Migration
Marine is truly a gem of a person, combining sharp strategic thinking with the ability to deliver high-quality results even under tight timelines. Over the past 2.5 years, she has excelled across strategic communications, project management, and organizational work, always finding ways to turn challenges into opportunities. What I valued most was how we worked together almost seamlessly; her warmth, trust, and collaborative spirit made every project not only successful but also enjoyable. It has been a wonderful journey of learning, growth, and inspiration alongside her.
Henry Cáceres, Global Innovation Manager, IFRC Solferino Academy
Working with Marine has been one of those experiences that truly leaves a mark. From the very first project we collaborated on, her energy, creativity, and expertise made everything flow with ease and enthusiasm. She has a special ability to combine technical excellence with a fresh and human perspective, turning every task into more than just work, into an opportunity to learn and enjoy the process. What I admire most about Marine is her genuine kindness. Her empathy, charisma, and authenticity make everyone around her feel valued and inspired. More than a colleague, she is a trusted ally and a true friend. Working with her doesn’t just elevate the results; it lifts the entire team’s spirit.
Mohamed Nasser Keita, Disaster Manager, Guinean Red Cross
Marine stands out for her rich experience and strong skills, which she always puts at the service of the team with great efficiency. Her exemplary manners and interpersonal skills make her a colleague appreciated by all.
Thameur Debouba, Founder & Trainer at Ystor
Working alongside Marine has been a real privilege.
Whether through educational projects (Young Leaders, YABC, etc.) or international gatherings (Florence, San Marino, Solferino, Guimarães, etc.), I’ve been able to appreciate her intelligence, her unifying spirit, and her determination to ensure that things move in the right direction.
Rasoanomenjanahary Elisah Nahavitatsara, Surge Volunteer, Malagasy Red Cross
It was a great pleasure working with Marine. Beyond the guidelines and training content, she created a friendly atmosphere and a bond of trust that helped build greater self-confidence. Thanks to her encouragement, I was able to support young francophone innovators from my country and others. She proved to be a true mentor and guide, and her leadership style was truly inspiring. Since then, I continue to draw from the way she gave feedback, always motivating others to shine and give their very best.
Louise Gattet, Employee at VisitBerlin
Marine was my manager for nearly a year at the Monaco Red Cross. We worked together on projects such as raising awareness among young people about environmental issues and the inequalities linked to globalisation.
Her commitment, passion, and expertise in international relations allowed these projects to grow and have a greater impact on the various beneficiaries of the Monaco Red Cross.
Marine’s skills in intercultural communication, along with her ability to analyse situations with precision and objectivity, make her a valuable collaborator. She was both a mentor and a guide to me, and I highly recommend her for any collaboration or project in the field of international relations.
Sara Gullet, Innovation Support Consultant, IFRC Solferino Academy
Marine leads with both competence and kindness. She has a rare ability to keep projects organised and moving forward while ensuring everyone feels supported and understood. She explains things clearly, helps colleagues with patience, and creates an atmosphere of trust and collaboration that brings out the best in her team.
Yeon Park / UNDP Kyrgyzstan / Climate Change and DRM Associate
I can say with confidence that Marine is one of the warmest, friendliest colleague/leader you can encounter out there. She adds energy and a positive vibe to the team, lighting up the atmosphere even when difficult situations arise. Along with her professionalism and organisation skills, she is proficient in managing communications and skillful at organising and delivering projects.
Hamza Hamwie - Sphere Focal Point, MENA Region
Working closely with Marine on a daily basis, I was consistently impressed by her supportive nature, quick responsiveness, and strong spirit of teamwork. She not only supports individuals but also fosters a collaborative environment for the entire team. On a personal level, Marine has a remarkable ability to listen and develop innovative solutions. She excels at creating an interactive and positive atmosphere, consistently meets project deadlines, and demonstrates exceptional management and creativity in all her work.
Aime Kevin Karerwa, National Youth Cordinator at Burundi Red Cross
I have known Marine for the last three years through IFRC, more precisely through the Solferino Academy, where she has been our main interlocutor between us at the Burundi Red Cross and the IFRC Headquarters. Her dedication to the job was exemplary. I could not imagine how she managed more than 100 people and over 10 WhatsApp communities from across the globe, with different time zones and different issues — yet Marine was always there whenever we needed her. She consistently provided answers and guidance so that we could have the best possible experience in LIMITLESS. Personally, as a lead, I often had private chats with her, and I never once heard her blaming us when we missed something or were late. Instead, she was always kind, patient, and supportive — sometimes even covering for us when we missed a notification. Marine is truly dedicated, empathetic, and inspiring.
Élodie Torrel, Project Officer, Monaco Red Cross
Working with Marine has always been a real pleasure. Highly committed, dynamic, responsive, and truly dedicated, she brought great energy to the team. Thanks to her experience and knowledge, she was able to adapt easily to different areas of work, as she had already demonstrated by successfully managing several fields of activity.
Beyond her skills, Marine is a deeply human person, attentive and always ready to help. Her interpersonal skills and dedication make her a colleague one can rely on, both professionally and personally.
Richard Zongo, Monitoring, Evaluation and Capitalisation at the Burkina Faso Red Cross
Marine offered an unforgettable experience. She has remarkable expertise in mentoring and coaching, knowing how to motivate others and push them to reveal their full potential. She is attentive to everyone under her guidance, with excellent interpersonal skills and a strong ability to communicate. Marine knows how to find the right words and never tires of her work. Even during her holidays, she makes time to provide support. She has always known how to reach people with her words, especially in moments when motivation was low.
Sombiniaina Sandra Mialihelfy, volunteer at Malagasy Red Cross
Marine had the opportunity to work within the Solferino Academy during the second edition of the Limitless Programme. She demonstrated a great ability to lead and support a group with professionalism. Thanks to her interpersonal skills and human-centred approach, she knows how to attract and inspire others. She is highly recommended for any new field she chooses to pursue.
Former Mentee
I had the privilege of working with Marine in the Limitless Program with Solferino Academy, and it was an outstanding experience. She is a natural leader who combines vision with compassion, making everyone around her feel valued and empowered. Her supportive and kind approach created a safe space for sharing ideas, while her knowledge and expertise ensured that our work was both meaningful and impactful. What stood out the most was her ability to balance professionalism with empathy; she knew how to motivate the team, guide us through challenges, and celebrate our achievements together. Her leadership left a lasting impression on me, and I am truly grateful for the chance to collaborate with her. Working alongside her was both inspiring and enjoyable, and I would be more than happy to do so again in the future.
Céline Laval, Executive Assistant, Monaco Red Cross
Marine was a wonderful professional encounter within the Monaco Red Cross. Over 14 years, we directly and indirectly shared a rich journey, marked both by her solid technical skills and her strong human qualities and values. She is one of those women who encourages collaboration and mutual support, values the efforts, skills and talents of each person, and helps create a caring work environment. Responsible and committed, she always works with heart, professionalism and purpose, fully embodying the values of our institution. Thank you for everything, Marine!
