Audrey Joachim is an international leadership and governance strategist from Guadeloupe, a French territory in the Caribbean. She currently serves as Program Director for Conecta Caribbean, an entrepreneurship programme powered by the IDB Lab and implemented by Bridge for Billions, supporting Entrepreneurship Support Organizations across 15 countries of the Caribbean.
Her work focuses on leadership, governance, and system transformation in multicultural and institutionally complex environments. Throughout her career, Audrey has operated across the Caribbean and held leadership and advisory roles in Europe, the United States, and Asia. Her professional background spans technology, consulting, entrepreneurship, and public-sector ecosystem development, with experience building partnerships across both B2G and B2B contexts.
Audrey is particularly interested in how leadership and authority are exercised in fragmented systems where formal power structures are limited or evolving. She brings a distinctive regional perspective shaped by the Caribbean’s linguistic diversity, advocating for the inclusion of English-, Spanish-, and French-speaking territories in broader regional and global leadership conversations.
She speaks regularly on cross-cultural leadership, governance, and the realities of leading across diverse institutional and cultural landscapes.
