Active Fractional CFO | 13 Yrs Frontier Operator | Making Companies Investment-Ready | French & English
I am a hands-on financial operator—not a consultant. For 13 years, I have built and scaled institutional financial architecture for high-growth ventures in complex markets.
As an active Fractional CFO based in New York, my focus is singular: preparing companies to successfully raise capital and scale. I take direct ownership of P&Ls, design profitable pricing models, and lead multi-country financial teams in high-volatility contexts—including active conflict zones (Mali, Guinea, Mozambique, Tunisia, Liberia).
I serve as a strategic bridge to global investors for founders across VC4A’s key corridors: West & Central Africa (Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Nigeria, Ghana), North Africa (Tunisia, Egypt), and East & Southern Africa (Kenya, Mozambique). My foundation includes wealth management at State Street and a Master’s from Columbia University.
What I Bring:
* Investment Readiness: Data room cleanup, cap table fixes, and 3-year growth models built to pass aggressive VC/DFI due diligence.
* Active CFO & Pricing Execution: Managing live burn rates, multi-currency liquidity, and unit economics to capture maximum margin.
* High-Friction Mastery: Proven track record directing cash operations across volatile African markets.
* Bilingual Execution: Native-level French/English fluency across Francophone (WAEMU/CEMAC) and Anglophone tech hubs.
Sectors: AgTech, Climate/Energy, Tech, Health, Food/Nutrition.
Frontier ventures fail when financial architecture breaks during scaling or due diligence. Having spent 13 years building systems on the ground, I know founders need practical financial architecture—not slide decks.
I joined VC4A to help growth-stage founders eliminate operational friction, optimize pricing, and build bulletproof, investor-ready data rooms to close their next round.
