Amélie de Montchalin (French pronunciation: [ameli də mɔ̃ʃalɛ̃]; née Bommier, born 19 June 1985) is a French politician who has been serving as Ambassador and Permanent Representative of France to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) since 2022.[1]

Montchalin previously served as Minister for Ecological Transition and Territorial Cohesion under Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne (2022),[2] Minister of Public Transformation and Service under Prime Minister Jean Castex (2020–2022)[3] and as Secretary of State for European Affairs at the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs (2019–2020).[3]

A member of La République En Marche! (LREM), Montchalin was a member of the National Assembly from 2017 to 2022, representing the 6th constituency of Essonne.[4] From 2017 to 2018, she was the La République En Marche whip in the National Assembly’s Finance Committee.

Early life and education[edit]

Montchalin was born in Lyon. Her father is an administrative executive and her mother is a nurse.[5] She entered HEC Paris in 2005, graduating with a master's degree in management in 2009. During her studies, she interned for Valérie Pécresse in the National Assembly.[6]

Career in the private sector[edit]

From 2009 to 2012, Montchalin worked as an economist in charge of Eurozone analysis for Exane BNP Paribas.[6] She then studied at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, graduating with a Master of Public Administration in 2014. From September 2014 she worked at the insurance firm AXA on issues related to global public policy, data protection and climate change.[7][8]

Political career[edit]

Before joining En Marche, Montchalin identified as on the political center-right. She has spoken of becoming disenchanted with François Fillon and of being inspired by Emmanuel Macron's reformist and pro-European stance, and also by what she perceives as his willingness to prioritize skills over political experience.[6][9][10] In the 2017 legislative elections she was elected with 61.34% of the vote, defeating her opponent Françoise Couasse of the Union of Democrats and Independents.[11] Turnout was low at 41.25%.[12]

Montchalin was a member of the Finance Committee, the parliamentary body that scrutinises public spending.[13][6]

On 27 March 2019, Montchalin was appointed as Secretary of State for European Affairs, succeeding Nathalie Loiseau.[14] She served in this post until July 2020, when she was promoted to become Minister for Transformation and Public Service.[3] She left the Borne government in July 2022 after her defeat at the 2022 French legislative election.
