Afoussat Salifou-Traore

I have 2 decades of professional experience as a marketing, PR and communications expert. I have worked on 3 continents, in agencies and on the announcer side. I have honed my skills in multiple fields, from banking to FMCG, from telcos to airlines. I have visited about twenty countries, lived and worked in about ten of them. I am curious about things and people with an optimistic and open mind about the world. Having been exposed to different cultures in several geographies at an early age gives me a multicultural sensitivity that is very useful in my profession.

I believe startups stimulate economic growth by creating jobs and I love the fact that they provide opportunities for entrepreneurship and self-employment while addressing unmet needs and bringing solutions to problems. I would love to contribute to their success.
