Kerline Paul has worked as a bilingual executive assistant for over 20 years. In preparing meetings and files, in organising seminars and training courses, and in managing customers, she has honed her capacity for initiative, fast turnarounds and resilience to stress. Since 2020 she has worked for Enéal (Action Logement Group), which aims to rethink accommodation solutions for older persons.
Kerline Paul’s career follows on from a FEDE European Master’s in Business Management and Strategy. Now, having caught the research bug, she plans, thanks to the opportunity provided by the FEDE, to pursue a dream of hers: to develop and write a DBA thesis.
Kerline Paul’s research will focus on the positive impact of non-profit organisations that are committed to social and solidarity-based economics. In her view, the social innovation capacity of these organisations drives a type of societal engagement that makes them worthy of recognition as major and distinct economic actors.
In short, she wishes to demonstrate that civil society organisations, like commercial organisations – though they operate differently – have an essential role to play in liberal economies.
