Ghislaine Tamisier studied languages and anthropology before graduating in translation from ESIT (Paris Sorbonne Nouvelle University) and working as a professional freelance translator. Her experience in translating, teaching, and coordinating multicultural academic teams naturally led her to explore interpersonal and intercultural dynamics. She now coordinates the intercultural policy at Université Paris-Saclay and works as an intercultural trainer and facilitator, designing bespoke programmes to raise intercultural awareness, develop intercultural intelligence and accompany diverse teams. A natural team player, she particularly enjoys co-facilitating experiential, interactive workshops in French and English. Co-founder and President of Mitra+, Vivre l’interculturel — a French local nonprofit that promotes intercultural skills especially within higher education institutions and NGOs — Ghislaine returned to study in 2019–2020 and earned a university diploma in Conflict Management, Negotiation and Mediation from Paris-Descartes University. She is co-author, with Jimena Andino-Dorato and Verónica de la Fuente, of L’intelligence interculturelle au service des coachs: regards croisés pour une nouvelle réflexivité, published by InterEditions in Paris in March 2022.
