Born and raised in France, Solene has lived abroad for over 12 years - in Norway, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and Australia. Her passion for travel has also led her to visit more than 58 different countries so far.
Day-to-day, she works in diversity and inclusion as Programme Lead for Disabled Innovators for the UK's government agency for innovation, something she is really passionate about.
She also runs her own business: Be Beyond Borders, which is all about storytelling, creativity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging. As part of this venture, she hosts a talkshow called 'The Inclusion Conversation and has published four books including a travel memoir (Where to Next?) and a children's story (Where Are You From?). She is now pivoting to offer facilitation, training, and mentoring.
The purpose behind everything she does is to break down borders and bring the world closer together, one conversation, one story, one connection at a time. She inspires and helps people from all over to live a life worth living - whatever that might mean for them.
