About Marie-France

With over ten years of experience in Project Management, I have dedicated my career to leading high-stakes initiatives that deliver tangible results. My journey, from driving regional program success at Amazon in the Middle East, to my current role as a Project Management Consultant within the Digital Transformation unit at the IFRC, has equipped me with a unique ability to scale solutions for global impact, such as improving worldwide emergency response through the Integrated Assistance initiative. I bridge the gap between strategy and execution by fostering a culture of creative problem-solving and continuous learning within my teams. Certified as a PMP® and Professional Scrum Master, I am passionate about leveraging agile methodologies and cutting-edge technology to turn ambitious visions into reality.
