ABOUT...

With 25 years of experience in major international events, Barbara Martins-Nio has led large-scale projects around the world.
From the Olympic Games to World Cups, from international conferences to brand strategy, her career brought her to French Polynesia in 2022 to lead the surfing events for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games in Teahupo’o. These experiences shaped a strong conviction: the most powerful projects are those that combine global vision with local roots, international ambition with respect for local distinctiveness. Her approach is grounded in strategic commitment with a strong human and place-based dimension.

TESTIMONIALS

“As Event General Manager for the Paris 2024 surfing events in Tahiti, Barbara was present at every key stage of Olympic preparation. She supported me with professionalism and care—and shielded me when needed—so I could stay fully focused on my goal.”
Kauli Vaast
Olympic Surf Champion - Gold Medal – Paris 2024
“Working with Barbara on the Olympic Games legacy in French Polynesia, as part of the ‘Generation 2024’ programme, was a truly memorable experience. Her systemic vision, rigorous approach, and network turn complex challenges into concrete results. Beyond her expertise, her simplicity and humanity make her a valued ally, helping deliver success beyond expectations.”
Stéphanie Sanquer
Head of School Sport - Directorate-General for Education and Education
"I had the opportunity to work with Barbara as part of her role for Paris 2024, and I was impressed by her ability to listen and adapt, and by the way she manages interactions with a wide range of stakeholders—from local communities and professionals to administrative services and national and international institutions. She leads complex projects with rigour and method, while remaining a calm and effective communicator. Beyond her skills, her humility, kindness, and strong sense of teamwork truly stood out.”
Vaihere Lissant
Chief Executive Officer — Tahiti Tourisme
“As part of preparing the France TV programme “Aux Jeux Citoyens”, I followed Barbara for several months. This collaboration was one of the most enriching and stimulating of my career. The information she shared was always clear and well-structured. In these episodes filmed in a "cinema-vérité style"—where reactions were sometimes captured on the fly—her ability to respond with simplicity, authenticity, and efficiency was invaluable. Professional, available despite an intense workload, always smiling, and remarkably calm: a true human and professional gold medal.”
