Career highlights in Africa and Europe

I have more than 20 years of experience in B2B sales and business development, primarily with North American companies providing industrial and technology solutions. My work has included managing key accounts and coordinating local partners.

My assignments have taken me across North, West, Central and East Africa. That experience helps me adapt each assignment to local business practices, decision-making processes and operational constraints.

An engineering background

Master 2 in Mechanical and Production Engineering. I bring commercial and technical requirements together, from assessing an opportunity to planning its implementation.

Managing projects in Africa

On projects involving state-owned enterprises and international groups, I helped prepare technical and commercial bids and coordinate local teams, industrial partners and European headquarters. After award, that support could continue into implementation.

Managing projects from scoping to field follow-up

My project management experience covers defining technical and commercial scope, preparing business plans and performance indicators, and coordinating teams and partners. I help set milestones, clarify responsibilities and track risks and decisions throughout the project.

Connecting European companies and African partners

I draw on my commercial and engineering experience to assess opportunities, identify the right contacts and plan the next steps. In practice, I help teams agree on partner responsibilities, project milestones and decisions that need local follow-up.

How I work

I am passionate about Africa, energy and the natural world, particularly the protection of wildlife and plant life. These interests shape how I approach projects: I take time to understand local realities, listen to the people who live and work there, and work with them to find solutions that will last.

I bring my skills and professional network across Africa and Europe to help you achieve your goals. I want us to work towards a shared ambition: to develop economically sound projects, act with integrity, and respect people and the natural environment.
