In this episode, we sit down with someone who's not just shaping global diplomacy, she's redefining it. Meet Fabienne Hara, a powerhouse of strategic leadership, conflict resolution, and international advocacy. If there is a crisis zone or a high stakes negotiation table, chances are Fabienne has been there making a difference.

As the Deputy Director General of the Paris Peace Forum, Fabienne works tirelessly to foster global corporation and stability, but that's just the tip of the iceberg of her 30 year career. From her groundbreaking field research in 10 conflict zones in Africa to her influential roles at the International Crisis Group, the United Nations Departments of Political Affairs and Peacekeeping Operations, the Bill and Melinda Gates and the Open Society Foundations she's been a driving force for peace and security worldwide. Her expertise spans everything from conflict prevention to global goods diplomacy, and she's done it all with vision and grit.
But Fabienne isn't just the behind the scenes strategist. She's also a brilliant educator and speaker. She taught at SciencesPo where she was my professor during a course on 'Preventing diplomacy and multicultural conflict management in Africa', and this is how we met.

She also taught at Harvard Kennedy School and other top institutions sharing her real world insights with future leaders. Her ability to blend on the ground experience with strategic foresight make her one of the most compelling voices on the global stage today. In this conversation, we focus on Fabienne's remarkable journey from working in conflict zones in Sudan, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, to shaping policies that impact the entire world.

Get ready for an inspiring eye-opening discussion with a top diplomatic changemaker and peace and diplomacy off the record, especially for us today.
