Interview with Ashoka Fellow, Marine Quenin

Marine Quenin, founder of the NGO Enquête, recently took part in a leadership seminar sponsored by Turningpoint and specially designed for Ashoka Fellows. As the head of Enquête, Marine tackles complex and essential topics such as secularism and religious literacy among children, combining nuance with conviction. Her work helps create spaces for dialogue, a key condition for living well together in a diverse society.

For Marine, as for many social entrepreneurs, this kind of support provides a valuable opportunity to step back, build self-awareness, and strengthen leadership practices. One of the main challenges these purpose-driven leaders face is scaling their impact, turning a strong initial idea into a sustainable and high-impact organization. This requires not only a clear vision, but also effective leadership, team management, and interpersonal skills.

This seminar gave Marine the space to reflect on her leadership approach and further develop her ability to build trust-based relationships within her team.
