Thierry Senechal

Managing Director, Finance For Impact

Thierry Senechal has 25 years of international experience in designing, implementing and evaluating strategies, programs and projects in the fields of conflict prevention, peacebuilding and negotiations. He started his career with the UN Security Council’s war reparation program following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.

He helped facilitate several track-II diplomatic efforts on the peace process in the Middle East.

Thierry Senechal has also led complex investigations, regulatory inquiries, and law enforcement actions. As a regular tribunal-appointed expert in major international arbitration proceedings, he investigated complex international disputes for the ICC Court of International Arbitration, the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (World Bank) and the London Court of International Arbitration. From 2017 to 2021, he served on the ICCA-ASIL Task Force on Damage, a 15-person global panel of leading legal and economics experts to promote consistent evaluation standards in international arbitration.
