Zoé Boissel appointed communications and engagement director of RSF
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) announces the appointment of Zoé Boissel as its communications and engagement director. After holding similar positions in the social and solidarity economy in France, she will now lead communications and community engagement at RSF.
Reporting to senior management, Zoé Boissel's mission is to define, manage and implement RSF’s communication strategy with the aim of increasing RSF’s visibility and the financial resources available to it. Her mission is also to bring together and engage communities in its communication and marketing activities in order to maximise their impact.
“RSF is extremely keen for its communities, both the media and general public, to become even more engaged in its activities. Describing what RSF is doing, recounting its campaigns, and portraying the heroes of today's journalism are key tasks. Zoé Boissel’s experience, professionalism and determination will enable us to enhance our impact.
A graduate of the Aix-en-Provence Institute of Political Studies with a master's degree in international political journalism, Boissel began her career as a journalist in the print media and radio. Since 2009, she has continued her career in communications in various organisations including Initiative France and the French Banking Federation.
In 2015, she entered the social and solidarity economy by joining the communications department of France Active as brand content manager. This pivotal experience took her to Simplon.co, an inclusive training organisation for digital professions, where she led the external communications team until 2021.
Before joining RSF, Boissel was director of communications and marketing at the social start-up Entourage from 2021 until early 2024.
“I have been passionate about journalism from a very young age. So, I am delighted to now join an organisation that never stops fighting for the freedom to report and the right to be informed. I am convinced of the power of communication when it is fully used for impact. I thank Christophe Deloire and the RSF management committee for their confidence in me. I am sure that we can accomplish great things together.
