She became Deputy Managing Director in 1998 and Vice-Chairwoman in 2001.<\/p>\n<p>After two years as head of the Department for Cultural Cooperation and the French Language at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, she was recalled to the General Management of TV5MONDE in May 2008, as part of the reform of France\u2019s external broadcasting system, which separated the positions of Chairman of the Administrative Board and General Management of the channel.<\/p>\n<p>Her first novel \u2018<em>Temps Ensoleill\u00e9 avec fortes rafales de vent<\/em><em>\u2019 <\/em>(Sunny Weather with Strong Gusts of Wind) was published in August 2012 (ed.

In April 2018, she was reappointed by the Conseil Sup\u00e9rieur de l\u2019Audiovisuel (CSA), the former French broadcasting regulator, on the basis of her track record as head of France M\u00e9dias Monde for a further five-year term. On 11 January 2023, she was reappointed for a five-year term by the Autorit\u00e9 de R\u00e9gulation de la Communication Audiovisuelle et Num\u00e9rique (ARCOM, the new French broadcasting regulator as the result of the merger between the CSA and Hadopi).<\/p>\n<p>She was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour (<em>Chevalier de la L\u00e9gion d\u2019Honneur<\/em>) on 31 December 2012 and she was promoted to the rank of Officer of the National Order of Merit (<em>Officier de l\u2019ordre national du M\u00e9rite<\/em>) on 15 November 2016.
