Business Development & Project Management Consultant – Africa & Europe
Background and Expertise
Overview
Driven by a strong interest in Africa and its economic dynamics, I have over 20 years of experience in business development in Africa, as well as in B2B commercial development across Africa and Europe.
Throughout my professional career and business development assignments, I have worked in numerous African countries across North Africa, West Africa, Central Africa and East Africa, including: Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Burkina Faso, Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Senegal, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Gabon, Republic of Congo, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Africa, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
These experiences have enabled me to develop a deep understanding of local realities, business cultures, economic environments and operational challenges, which are essential to any successful and sustainable market entry or business expansion in Africa.
A Field-Driven, Human and Sustainable Approach
Over the years, I have built strong, trust-based relationships in several of these countries with local partners, clients and key decision-makers, allowing me to operate effectively in complex multicultural environments.
I am firmly convinced that Africa’s development potential is considerable, provided it is pursued through win-win partnerships, with respect for local cultures, stakeholder expectations and sustainable development challenges.
My Role: Supporting Your Growth in Africa
I support companies, industrial groups and investors seeking to:
- expand their activities in Africa,
- structure their international business development strategy,
- secure their local market entry,
- manage complex industrial and commercial projects.
I act as a strategic and operational interface between European and African stakeholders, providing advisory services, coordination and on-the-ground support to ensure controlled and sustainable growth.
Extensive Experience in B2B Business Development
I bring more than 20 years of experience in B2B sales and business development, mainly acquired within North American industrial groups, delivering high value-added industrial and technological solutions.
In this context, I have:
- consistently met and exceeded ambitious sales targets,
- built long-term client relationships,
- generated significant revenue growth,
- managed and developed distributor and local partner networks,
- handled key accounts and strategic clients.
A Technical Background Serving Your Projects
Holding a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering, I benefit from a strong technical background, enabling me to approach projects with a strategic, commercial and operational mindset.
