The Founder

About me:

I am a recognized professional in business development, corporate strategy, and project management, with over 17 years of experience across Africa(more than 30 countries covered).

I have successfully led growth initiatives in key sectors such as agribusiness, infrastructure, mining, and energy, helping companies scale and optimize their operational performance.

My expertise lies in designing sustainable commercial growth strategies, managing complex programs, and forging robust partnerships in dynamic environments. I focus on delivering operational solutions tailored to regional specificities, aimed at maximizing profitability and economic impact.

Commitment and values:

I am actively committed to driving empowerment for women and youth through initiatives that promote equity, inclusive leadership, and skill-building/capability-reinforcement across sub-Saharan Africa. This commitment, coupled with a strong focus on sustainable development, underpins my professional activities, where I aim to align economic growth with social responsibility.
