Victoria Mandefield, GE 2018, Founder & CEO Solinum, Paris

Victoria Mandefield is a social entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Solinum, creator of Soliguide, a survival guide and support for the homeless. She is gaining recognition in France as a key contributor in raising awareness and providing solutions for the homeless. She continues to shake up the world of societal impact, working closely with France’s major support systems, including 115, the call centre run by the emergency social services, as well as the French Red Cross.

Determined, constantly in a hurry, and paring her actions down the essentials, Victoria lives life at 100 km/h. At 28, her days are devoted to creating social impact and she doesn’t bother with detours or taking the long way round. Perched on two packing boxes during her lunch break, she answers our interview questions simply, precisely and directly, her voice hoarse from a persistent cough.

“I don’t pretend that on my own I’m changing the world, but by helping a few people, I am making my contribution and improving the system as a whole. That’s something.”
