Africa is rapidly re-inventing itself from being an aid recipient to a trade and investment destination. The most effective path to development in Africa is business. Building a business is hard and having access to the right knowledge and information is critical. Unfortunately, in the African space information is too often lacking. I am looking forward to influencing others in a positive way; my message is : you can do anything if you just put your mind to do it, if it is well-structured. I justified a double competence in marketing and corporate risk, both in my academic education than in my professional experience with 14 years of STCF structuring in trade finance, banking and corporate finance.
