Anne Gaspard is Equinet Co-Director for Network Strategic Engagement since February 2022, after leading Equinet as its Executive Director since 2008 with the first establishment of the Equinet Secretariat. Anne grew up in France (Paris and Normandy) and later moved and completed her school curriculum at the French Lycée in London. Anne has been active and involved in the field of equality and non-discrimination at a European level since the very start of her professional career, following her Bachelors graduation in European studies and political science from University College London (UK) and Berlin Humboldt University (Germany).

Starting work in Brussels with the Campaign of the European Year against Racism in 1997 for the European Parliament and a subsequent stage experience within the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) at the Council of Europe, in Strasbourg, Anne then joined and managed the UK London-based secretariat supporting the first Chair of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC), predecessor institution to the now Fundamental Rights Agency based in Vienna, from 1998 to 2000. Anne was then responsible for the implementation of various pan-European equality and anti-discrimination projects for a European diversity management consultancy heading and leading its European office in Brussels for seven years (2000-2007).
