Background

Certified Project Manager | Financial Audit, Project Control & International Development

More than ten years of making the numbers talk and moving projects forward. My career has taken me from financial audit to management consulting, by way of project management and control. I have trained and supported many SMEs, and I know the realities of Africa's informal sector firsthand. Today, my teams and I help business leaders, groups and multinational subsidiaries structure, strengthen and steer their growth.

A former senior audit lead in financial audit, I headed Anderson & Scholars in Abidjan before leading SYSCOHADA reporting for multinational subsidiaries.
