Our Organization
The Albatross Foundation was created in April 2011 in China and in 2017 in France by Ghislaine Bouillet-Cordonnier, who subsequently handed over the Presidency to Lucille Deville.
Dr Ghislaine Bouillet-Cordonnier, founder
Ghislaine holds a PhD in Financial Law from the University of Lyon III with a thesis on a US-France comparison of Venture Capital, a Master of Laws from Harvard University and Masters degrees in European Law and Business Law from the University of Lyon III. She is a member of the New York and Paris Bars.
She worked as a lawyer in international law firms in the United States and France, then as legal counsel for the World Bank’s privatization programs in Africa, based in Cameroon. Based in Cambodia, she then took part in press freedom programs and the UNESCO World Heritage listing of Lake Tonle Sape. Following this experience in international organizations, she joined major industrial groups based in Singapore and then Shanghai as Senior Vice President Asia Pacific, in charge of legal affairs and coordination of sustainable development programs.
Ghislaine is the founder of the Albatross Foundation,(www.albatrossglobal.org), a non-profit organization based in China, Singapore and France, whose aim is to provide free education in sustainable development by training over 12,000 children and distributing over 72,000 books. Ghislaine is also founder of the “e-commerce” site and publishing house create2donate(www.create2donate.org), which aims to promote authors, artists and other creators of intellectual value with a philanthropic profit split(i.e. 1/3 for the creator of value, 1/3 for the Albatross Foundation, 1/3 for an NGO chosen by the buyer or by default Albatross). She edited the first collection of Albatross children’s books, published in three languages, Chinese, English and French, and launched at the 2010 Shanghai World Expo.
Co-author of the International Treatise on Environmental Laws and articles on OHADHA and debt-for-nature swaps, Ghislaine is also the author of a book entitled “Pactes d’Actionnaires et Privilèges Statutaires” published in January 2019 with contributions from Law Professors and a Legalteck, 2/3 of the profits from which will fund Albatross.
She currently works as a Pro Bono lawyer, and was nominated for the Trophées Pro Bono of the Paris Bar. She won the Paris 2020 Pro Bono Trophy – Prix Spécial Québec, for her book “Pactes d’actionnaires et privilèges statutaires.
