Interim management at the intersection of corporate communications and public affairs
Marielle loves working at the interface between strategy formation, public affairs, corporate communications and management. This is why she has chosen to strengthen Publyon Interim Management.
Marielle is convinced that public affairs and corporate communications are two sides of the same coin. Thanks to years of experience working in a wide range of organisations, she can add organizational knowledge to the mix. She enjoys assignments in which she can jump in at the deep end and not only represent an organization externally but also assure internal alignment.
Examples include her interim role as corporate affairs manager of a multinational coffee and tea company, her temporary corporate affairs manager role at a large green hydrogen consortium and her interim position as head of communications at a large organization in The Hague.
Organizational Consulting
A new strategy is often accompanied by organisational changes. Implementing these to make maximum impact is a challenge Marielle also enjoys taking on. As head of communications, Marielle not only gave the organization’s strategic communications a new direction, but also set up structural stakeholder management. In addition she built a completely new communications department.
Advisory work
In addition to her interim work, Marielle advises a number of clients in the field of public affairs and communications. She helps these organizations navigat the changing social landscape and build bridges to relevant stakeholders.
From Antwerp to The Hague and from legal advisor to spokesperson
Before Marielle switched to consulting work in 2019, she held various positions at the intersection of strategic communications, (issue) management and politics. Examples include jobs as board spokesperson and political and legal advisor.
Marielle holds academic degrees in social and cultural anthropology, international relations and law, an SRM certificate as a senior communications consultant and attended various management courses.
Born and raised in Antwerp, Marielle has been enjoying life in The Hague for more than 20 years.
