The newly created role of Executive Director at Keychange asbl will be filled by Tiffany Fukuma. We are delighted to welcome her as part of the Keychange cosmos with immediate effect. 

Tiffany grew up between France and Japan, as a grassroots cultural activist. She holds a M.A. in philosophy from Lyon University and a M.A. in marketing from Celsa / Paris Sorbonne University and has a background in the independent music sector as a venue manager and a producer. She worked for 10 years for city governments (City of Paris, City of Bordeaux, France) - and got involved with the États Généraux de la Nuit à Paris and the Bordeaux Night Council - and for 6 years for the French foreign service, in Tokyo and in Toronto, building international cultural cooperation projects. Tiffany also served for 3 years as managing director of Trans Europe Halles, one of the largest cultural networks in Europe, where she implemented a number of EU-funded projects. Over time, she developed an expertise in international cooperation programs, partnership building, fundraising and a strong interest in urban and social transformation through culture, community work and advocacy. 

She is a record collector, a club-goer, and an advocate for safer, accessible, more diverse and more sustainable art spaces and nightlife. 
 
With a wonderful quote, Tiffany herself speaks up to introduce herself and illustrate her motivation: 
„It's impossible to imagine any form of living art which wasn't born from a multiplicity of influences, perspectives, identities. A global initiative aiming to prioritize women, artists of color, queer and trans musicians, music professionals and innovators, and to change the face of the music industry globally, Keychange really speaks to my heart. I am thrilled to be given the opportunity to put my international experience and activist drive to good use to lead this initiative, alongside dedicated teams and major players in the music industry worldwide, as Keychange enters a new exciting phase." 

Welcome, Tiffany!
