Scarlette Elizée
About

Bridging worlds.
Forging stories.

Rooted in public diplomacy and shaped by fifteen years across multilateral institutions, global corporations, and diverse sectors — from cultural philanthropy and development finance to corporate sustainability, social impact, and luxury — Scarlette Elizée has built a practice around bridging the public and private, and turning those connections into lasting impact.

She works with organizations at pivotal moments of change, helping them align around shared agendas, navigate complex transitions, and move from intention to meaningful action. Her work sits at the intersection of strategic communications, stakeholder engagement, and partnership development — weaving together narrative, programming, and people so that organizations don’t just communicate, but move. She has led key initiatives including the OECD Development Assistance Committee, supporting its mandate revision across a membership of 31 countries; global institutional relations and sustainability engagement for the Group Carrefour; and communications and community engagement for the Cartier Women’s Initiative.

She brings particular fluency in communicating to multilevel stakeholders and navigating complex global environments — crafting tailored communications across channels, sectors, and audiences.

Based in Paris, Scarlette brings a global perspective to every mandate, operating fluidly across borders, sectors, and cultures.
