About

I am a woman of science passionate about innovation and technology.
As a doctor and entrepreneur with a strong entrepreneurial background, I have garnered numerous distinctions, including being a winner of the UEMOA Springboard Startup 2022, Afridea, Orange Corner Innovation Fund, and the Land Accelerator. I also received recognition from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in 2021.

With a robust professional background, I have led impactful projects aimed at improving the lives of rural communities through sustainable agricultural practices. My experience includes roles where I managed projects in health risk management, collaborated with international organizations, and secured substantial funding.

Throughout my journey, I have navigated both failures and successes, which have taught me invaluable lessons in resilience and collaboration. I firmly believe that success in business, especially for a startup with limited resources and income, hinges on strategic partnerships and shared knowledge.

I am eager to share my diverse experiences with other entrepreneurs and learn from their journeys as well.
