As a professional committed to financial inclusion, entrepreneurship development, and supporting young people and women, I am convinced that mentoring is a powerful lever for catalyzing the growth of African startups. With over ten years of experience in the decentralized financial services sector, project management, and strategic support for entrepreneurs, I want to put my expertise to work for this initiative in order to actively contribute to the development of a sustainable and innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa.

Africa is brimming with talent and promising initiatives, but access to resources, financing, and strategic advice remains a major challenge, particularly in French-speaking Africa. My involvement in this program is part of my vision for inclusive and structured entrepreneurship, where young project leaders receive high-quality support to maximize their impact and ensure the long-term viability of their businesses.
