Speaker of the day: Capucine Graby — Personal Growth & Self-Transcendence

Who is Capucine Graby?
Capucine Graby – Senior Reporter and Committed Author
Capucine Graby is a senior investigative journalist, author, television columnist, and avid traveler. A graduate of Paris Dauphine, she built her career within leading French newsrooms: Le Figaro, Le Point, Canal+, BFM Business. She embodies a committed voice in contemporary journalism, driven by a quest for meaning, authenticity, and human impact.
Capucine travels through war zones and forgotten regions across the globe to bring powerful stories to light. She has reported from Rwanda, Mozambique, and South Korea, with a journalistic rigor grounded in deep humanity. She is also planning to travel soon to the Central African Republic for a book project. Confronted with violence, trauma, and at times sheer chaos, she learned to master her emotions to continue reporting, conveying stories, and informing without faltering.
In her keynotes, she shares with precision and humility what it means to "learn about oneself in the field," how to turn fear into a lever for growth, and how to remain aligned with one's values while facing extreme circumstances. Her journey is an ode to pushing beyond one's limits, curiosity, and the art of transforming human vulnerability into inspiring strength.
