Alix is a seasoned communication expert with 20 years of experience in Europe, Canada, the United States and the Middle East. Throughout her career, she has held various roles ranging from translator, copy editor, lead editor, communication specialist, advocacy specialist, and partnership manager.

After working for over a decade as a translator and translation manager for the private sector, the European Investment Bank (the EU development bank), and UNICEF, Alix decided to develop sharper skills on communication and advocacy.

In Yemen, where she worked as a Communication Specialist for UNICEF, she coordinated content production and large-scale communication campaigns for major donors such as the humanitarian arm of the European Union (ECHO), KSA and the US.

In her last role as Advocacy Specialist in Iraq with UNICEF, Alix has played a pivotal role in developing a climate advocacy strategy aimed at influencing decision-makers and empowering young people to drive meaningful change in Iraq, the fifth most vulnerable country globally to reduced water availability and extreme temperatures. This led her to support Iraq in managing their first-ever pavilion at COP28 in Dubai, amplifying young people’s voices on the importance of taking action to reduce the impact of climate change.

Alix has volunteered consistently throughout her life with major not-for-profit organizations such as Rotary International in Canada and Luxembourg, and with smaller NGOs such as Serve The City in Luxembourg. Today, she supports the local Red Cross and La Passerelle 31, a social company aiming to help long unemployed citizens to reintegrate through work.
