Innovation, Technology, and entrepreneurship management Expert with over 15 years experience in conception, design, management, and monitoring of private sector and international development projects, with in-depth working knowledge of the European and African regions and business realities.

Over the years, I have been involved in a wide range of activities including project design & management, product development & organizational structuration, business operations strategic reviews, portfolio management, training & coaching (entrepreneurship, innovation, and technology), corporate strategy development, event organization, fundraising, humanitarian aid /development projects, and research.

I currently focus on value chain structuration, business capacity building and training, innovation management, and market linkages between Africa and Europe.

Mentorship motivation

  • I am looking for new investments
  • I like to learn about industries and new businesses
  • I want to give back to the startup ecosystem and entrepreneurs coming up
  • I want to make new connections for myself and/or the organization I represent
  • I want to scout for new opportunities in engaging as an advisor or for a board seat

As mentors, we need to update ourselves to stay relevant in our field of expertise. This platform seems to be the best place to meet skillful entrepreneurs
