Geneva Call is pleased to welcome Karine Beyersdorf-Zimeray to its Board of Trustees, the organisation’s highest governance body.

After years of experience covering top management roles at the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA) as Director of Institutional Relations and Communications, and at Prisma Media (then the French subsidiary of Bertelsmann Group) as Director of Communications, Karine Beyersdorf-Zimeray created in 2008 KBZ Corporate, a renowned strategic communications and reputation firm based in Paris, and in 2020 KBZ International in Geneva.

“Being able to contribute to Geneva Call’s respectable mission is a true honor. The organization works in highly volatile contexts which render strategic communications even more needed. I look forward to working alongside the other board members and Geneva Call’s staff worldwide to help navigate this constant challenge ” said Karine Beyersdorf-Zimeray.

Karine Beyersdorf-Zimeray obtained two Master’s Degrees, one from the Geneva Graduate Institute and the other from the University of Cambridge, and she graduated from the École Nationale d’Administration (ENA) in 1996.
