Alexandre Bocquillon

Alexandre is a Senior Advisor at Danari Global, with a focus on international diplomacy and global events. He is also the Executive Advisor to the Secretary General of the Japan Association for World Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, where he supports and advises the International Bureau Department.

Having supported Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) events around the world since 2005, Alexandre’s consolidated Expo expertise spans national branding, concept development to activation, staffing and operations, protocol, and events and cultural programs. Alexandre initially served as the Public Relations Manager, France Pavilion, at World Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan, and has since held various Pavilion roles, ranging from Guest Relations to Deputy Commissioner General for Monaco. In addition to his hands-on experience, Alexandre has also served as a BIE delegate. His comprehensive understanding of the Expo lifecycle, from conceptualization to legacy, is exemplified by the re-use of the Monaco Pavilion from Expo 2015 Milano into a Red Cross training center in Burkina Faso. Over the years, Alexandre’s involvement in seven Pavilions across World and Specialized Expos has earned him several prestigious BIE awards.

Over the last two years, Alexandre collaborated with a team of experts to meticulously craft and present the Bid Book for Expo 2030 Riyadh, representing the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. His involvement extended to overseeing all associated events throughout the campaign until the historic moment at the BIE General Assembly 173, where Saudi Arabia secured the hosting rights for World Expo 2030 in the first round of voting.
