THE BACKGROUND

Career and background

Lemaire’s education and career connect Côte d’Ivoire with Belgium and Britain. Her official biography records studies at the Université Libre de Bruxelles and the European Communication School, followed by a master’s degree at the University of Westminster. It describes early work in marketing at GDF Suez in Brussels and at D8 News, before her appointment as communications director for BNP Paribas’s Ivorian subsidiary in 2012.Source: Gabrielle Lemaire ↗

She subsequently established Barons, where her work focuses on communications strategy and advice to public institutions and businesses. Her other roles include vice-president of the Didier Drogba Foundation, which supports education and healthcare, and co-founder of Le Petit Potager. These are distinct professional projects, although her public appearances with Drogba often bring them into the same frame. Her own website separates business, charitable work and press coverage of family life.Source: Gabrielle Lemaire ↗

Lemaire was previously married to Vansy Goma and has a daughter from that relationship. She and Drogba were publicly linked by 2021 and welcomed a son in March 2023. Their public appearances bring together family occasions and their overlapping charitable and professional commitments.Source: Gentside, republished by Gabrielle Lemaire ↗
