Meet Nadia Merdassi
Nadia Merdassi learned to navigate uncertainty and change starting at a very young age. Born to a Tunisian father and French mother, she grew up in two dramatically different worlds. The greatest lesson she learned was a paradoxical truth: “We are all unique yet similar. Looking beyond our physical, cultural and religious differences, we have the same struggles, joys, aspirations and dreams.”
Embracing her multifaceted upbringing, Nadia went on to master a wide variety of disciplines, including management, marketing, communications, project management, and leadership coaching. She is fluent in Arabic, English, and French.
Along with academic degrees from EDHEC Business School and École des Ponts ParisTech, Nadia holds the following qualifications:
Leadership Coach (American University)
Project Management Professional (Project Management Institute)
Having spent 25 years in global organizations, Nadia has extensive managerial experience that cuts across functions and departments, including project management, strategic communication, marketing, product development, and budget planning. She has honed her skills in multicultural settings across the corporate, nonprofit, and multilateral sectors. Most recently, she was a Program Officer at the World Bank.
Nadia has always sought out opportunities to support projects and organizations through a blend of advisory and operational roles. This passion for helping people excel is what eventually led her to pursue coaching and consulting full time.
Having lived, studied and worked around the globe, Nadia considers herself a citizen of the world. An empathetic listener with a deeply calming presence, she is the ideal guide to have by your side on a challenging voyage.
