About me
Hi, I’m Sylvie!
I’m a communications strategist and content producer with over 15 years’ experience helping organisations tell better stories, reach wider audiences, and create impact.
I’ve worked across the humanitarian, public, and private sectors — from launching social media strategies at UNHCR and the World Economic Forum, to producing content for brands like Disney, Nivea, and Bacardi. I’ve built workflows, led teams, and developed content strategies that deliver — from global emergencies to major events like the Refugee Olympic and Paralympic Teams at Paris 2024 (that’s them in the photo above!).
At UNHCR, I launched our TikTok and WhatsApp Channels from scratch; both hit over 1 million followers in just a few months. I also created our first global social video strategy, driving over 560 million video views in a year. Before that, I led social video at the World Economic Forum, where our content reached over 1 billion views in a single year. It’s this kind of work — building something new, thinking strategically, and delivering content that resonates — that I love most.
Whether I’m scripting a story, leading a cross-platform campaign, or managing production logistics, I bring a practical, creative approach rooted in purpose. From human rights and climate to commercial storytelling, I help organisations cut through the noise with content that’s meaningful, timely, and effective.
Fluent in English and French, I’m also a mum of two and happiest when I’ve got a backpack, a mountain trail, and some offline time.
Thanks for stopping by, feel free to get in touch.
“Whilst at Toast, Sylvie showed herself to have an excellent work ethic and strong interpersonal skills. Sylvie was able to build strong relationships with her team and clients, her problem-solving abilities and sound decision-making made her a valuable asset to the company. I am glad to have been her employer, she was great fun to work with and have no hesitation in recommending Sylvie to potential employers.”

“Sylvie is a joy to work with. She brings over a decade of experience developing innovative social media video and communications materials that have set a standard for communicating about humanitarian crises. When she arrived at UNHCR she gently but brilliantly transformed our entire approach to video. She is inspired and collaborative, a rare combination. This makes her a brilliant manager and a great team player. Sylvie will always be the most humble person at the table, but can usually be relied upon to have the best ideas.”
Sybella Wilkes, UNHCR
“I worked with Sylvie at the World Economic Forum. I know her to be highly organised, creative, and diplomatic. She also loves a challenge, has loads of mental stamina, and is a great team player.”
Mark Jones, World Economic Forum
