A former journalist who spent six years in New Caledonia gaining insights into local issues, she then took a strategic turn to enter the world of politics and defence. She worked at the heart of power as an Advisor, then as an Africa Analyst within the French Ministry of the Armed Forces, and most recently as Head of Private Office to Jean-Marie Bockel, the French President's Personal Envoy for Africa.

With facts on the ground as her mantra, this field-oriented professional combines a sharp eye for detail with out-of-the box and creative thinking to unpack power relations and anticipate change.

Marjorie Apruzzese’s desire to make a difference through agility and vision naturally led her to become an officer in the French Air and Space Force.
