My Red Couch Talk with Hannele Secchia
Hannele Secchia is an Adult Third Culture Kid working in global mobility and raising her own Third Culture Kids. Although her countries of birth are Finland and Germany, she grew up in Ethiopia, the UK, and Kenya. When she married, she added another two countries to the mix, as her husband is South African and Italian. Hannele currently works as a leader among the expat community in Ethiopia to facilitate thriving – before, during, and after their stay.
The blend of her multicultural family, her lifelong experiences crossing cultures, her heart for those who are globally mobile, and her background in HR is the perfect combination for this work. She also brings her learning from both the corporate and the non-profit sectors to bear in her current role as the President of Families in Global Transition, where she is helping to position the organization strategically for the future.
She is on the brink of another big transition this coming year as she moves to Finland, where she will theoretically be a repatriate, although she does not fit that box either, never having lived in Finland!”
