With over four years of experience in the arts sector, I have honed my skills in strategic leadership, partnership cultivation, and innovative programming. As the founder and executive director of TwoFiveSeven Arts, I spearheaded initiatives that empower emerging visual artists, expand their visibility, and drive revenue growth in the visual art industry. My strategic approach to sales and marketing innovation resulted in increased market visibility and revenue for artists, fostering long-term impact within the art community.Beyond my role at TwoFiveSeven Arts, I have also been an independent consultant, delivering strategic consulting services to diverse clients, including private sector companies and non-profit organizations. My expertise in tailoring recommendations and collaborating on successful project executions has contributed to measurable outcomes for various clients, such as increased community engagement and outreach for non-profit initiatives.As the Director of Sales and Marketing, and subsequently, as the Director of Operations and Strategy at Le Panoramique Hotel by Celexon, I played a pivotal role in orchestrating a comprehensive transformation of operations and strategic initiatives. My tenure began with the development and implementation of innovative brand and marketing strategies, which resulted in significant social media growth, increased direct bookings, and improved online reputation. My strategic pricing and revenue management approach drove a 10% growth in average daily rate (ADR) and a 12% increase in overall room revenue. This success led to my promotion to Director of Operations and Strategy, where I further streamlined processes, optimized financial management, and elevated guest experiences. Throughout both roles, I consistently fostered a culture of collaboration and operational efficiency, significantly contributing to the hotel's success and reputation as a thriving destination.Beyond my professional career, I am an active feminist and women's rights advocate working on developping initiatives that promote women's empowerment and break societal barriers.I am proud to have received awards for my work with TwoFiveSeven Arts, including being named one of the 100 young French-African leaders by the French-African Foundation in 2021 and being selected as one of the 54 WIA54 laureates of the Women in Africa Initiative in 2020.I am passionate about leveraging my skills and experience to contribute to causes aligned with my beliefs and continue making a positive difference in the world.
