Marie Fol remains Project Manager (DE) while exploring the future of Keychange under her new appointment as Development Lead of Keychange, the global movement for gender equality in the music industry. 

Fierce advocate of international cultural collaboration, Marie Fol operates as cultural manager, expert and researcher in the arts, culture & creative sectors at European and international levels. She provides strategic advice to arts institutions for their international development and serves as jury member for public and private organisations (European Commission, Institut français, We Transfer's Supporting Act Foundation, etc.). She works with various music industry organisations, most recently as conference Samurai for WOMEX 2022, SEWEM mentor, MusicAire jury member, and One Voice for European Music rapporteur. 

Marie is the President of On the Move, the international network dedicated to cultural mobility, and Company Director of Res Artis, the international network of artist residencies.

With such expansive and crucial experience, we can’t think of an individual better placed to take the Keychange movement further!

“From a visionary initiative of six European partners, Keychange has grown into a global movement and a rich network of people and organisations committed to gender equity and social justice. It's a fantastic time to build further with our community. As Development Lead, I look forward to expanding our work to the U.S. as well as strengthening the impact of Keychange globally.”

- Marie Fol, Keychange Development Lead

“I am thrilled that Marie Fol, after several years as Keychange Project Manager, is now expanding her responsibilities as Development Lead, working on the future development of Keychange as well as expansion. With her many years of experience in the field of international cultural projects and cultural policy, she will undoubtedly be an excellent advisor for the further development of Keychange and will provide Keychange with comprehensive and professional advice on international cooperation and expansion.”
