About Frederique

High energy, seasoned, hands-on and impact-driven senior international communications and marketing strategist with over 20 years delivering strategic vision, impactful campaigns and “get it done” performance-driven results.

Adept at unifying complex global networks and collaborating across regions, I bring a strong track record in both local and global storytelling and mission-driven marketing. With hands-on energy, cross-cultural agility, and deep experience across brand, marketing, communications (PR) and digital landscapes I have had the privilege to support clients globally.

That includes delivering a new strategic vision and creative outlines for UNESCO/Council of Europe’s “Press Freedom” campaigns, defining the innovation strategies for both Goodyear and Electrolux, developing the strategic baseline, value propositions and storylines for multiple startups and new business units as well as redefining the communications approach for over 25 advocacy organisations.
