Cyrielle HARIEL

Cyrielle HARIEL

Impact journalist, author, and speaker

Cyrielle Hariel is an impact journalist and speaker driven by her passion for sustainable development and humanitarian engagement. She began her career in 2010 on C8 with a show focused on animals but radically transformed her professional path in 2014. A pivotal moment came during a trip to Bangladesh with Action Against Hunger, where she worked with Rohingya refugees. During this mission, she discovered a severe heart defect, leading to emergency surgery upon her return. Now a recognized voice in her field, Cyrielle hosted Objectif Raison d'Être on BFM Business, the network's first program dedicated to corporate social responsibility (CSR). She is the author of several books, including Faire battre le cœur du monde and Climate Survival Guide for Everyday People. Cyrielle shares her insights through conferences and TEDx Talks, inspiring audiences to take action for a more sustainable and equitable future.
