Refugees
Assisted refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa and South-East Asia.Basile Suliman
I recently completed a 6-month internship at BNP Paribas, where I developed communications on sustainability, and energy transition. My experience spans the private sector, international organisations, government institutions and NGOs, giving me a multidisciplinary perspective on public policy, sustainable development and strategic communication.
Who am I?
From evidence to action.
Think press reviews that highlight what matters, maps you can read in five seconds, and concise briefs that help teams decide the next step. I enjoy practical research, from digging through datasets and field notes to speaking with practitioners, then turning it into clear takeaways and visuals that move work forward.
