Renov Protein is an agritech startup aiming to build the first industrial facility for rearing and processing mealworms in North Africa — producing proteins, lipids, chitosan, and fertilizers for human food, aquaculture, livestock, and pet food, within a circular-economy model. Backed by the Akwa Group. Key achievements: • Set up a 4-ton rearing POC, scaled 1,000x in 6 months. • Signed 5 client letters of intent representing 105 tons/year of demand. • Contributed to a validated €1M fundraise, with 10+ interested investors. • Selected for the HEC Paris × Station F incubator and the Montpellier Business School accelerator; member of the Solar Impulse label (positive-impact project). • Reviewed and analyzed 350+ industrial patents to shape the intellectual-property strategy. • Modeled and sized a ~€2M industrial project (demonstrator, business plan, DCF valuation).

Daba'Go is a smart mobility app built for large, fast-growing African cities: it computes the optimal route by combining conventional transport (tram, bus, train) with the informal modes specific to the continent (shared taxis, minibuses, auto-rickshaws), through a proprietary machine-learning algorithm. Available on Android, iOS, and web. As co-founder and CEO, I took the project from idea to launched product, leading strategy, product development, partnerships, and fundraising. Key achievements: • Designed and launched a POC across Greater Casablanca — a metro area of 7 million people — covering around ten transport modes (700+ bus lines, ~15,000 taxis, tram, long-distance coaches, informal transport). • Led my technical team in developing a novel algorithmic model (deep learning + incremental learning) to predict waiting times for transport with no fixed schedules. • Negotiated government and data partnerships across ~15 African countries; direct impact in 6+ countries. • Built and led a team of up to 12 people on an 873,000 MAD budget. • 12-time startup competition finalist, representing Morocco internationally 6 times: winner of the 2021 RATP Dev Sustainable Mobility Prize, Top 16 in the World Bank's PRISE program, Top 10 African startup at Hub Africa, 2nd at Hack Ariadna.

4-month incubation at Station F as part of Renov Protein, an insect farming startup for industrial applications. Custom program with mentorship from HEC Paris experts in entrepreneurship, innovation, and finance. Access to specialists in insect farming, food industry regulation, and startup funding. Key outcomes: delivered core Renov Protein milestones within timeline, structured business plan, built network of sector specialists and investors.

Atrait Consulting is a Smart City and Smart Building advisory firm based in Morocco. When I joined, the company had never operated commercially — one legacy client accounted for over 80% of revenue. My mission was to define and launch a commercial strategy. In 4 months, I brought in 8 new clients, reduced dependency on the legacy client from 80%+ to 45% of projected revenue, and opened the firm's first market in sub-Saharan Africa. Deliverables: market diagnostic (now a reference in the Moroccan Smart sector), custom CRM with client reporting, 5-pillar commercial restructuring, long-term roadmap.

On a World Bank-funded project, delivered through a partnership between Daba'Go and the Trufi Association, I remotely led the complete mapping of Nouakchott's public transport network — the capital of Mauritania. I recruited and managed a local team, defined the methodology, and delivered all outputs, making Nouakchott the most advanced African capital for open public-transport data. Key achievements: • Complete open-source network mapping: 59 lines, 400 km, 61 GPS traces, 55 hours of recorded routes, 22 major transport hubs. • Study report on the city's public transport system with concrete improvement recommendations. • Remotely recruited, trained, and managed a local mapping team. • Delivered under budget: $16k spent of the $30k allocated.

GeoStat (by GeoCliks) is a real-time geolocated meter-reading software solution — water, gas, electricity — for utility operators. I led business development and the launch of the service across the African market. Key achievements: • Launched GeoStat in Niger, against an incumbent system already in place. • Nearly doubled the reading cadence at the Nigerien water operator: from 120k to 230k meters/month (270 meters/reader/day). • Saved 2 million m³ of water in 6 months for that operator. • Doubled the Nigerien client contract to 240k meters — 87% of the national market. • Generated 30 prospects across 13 African countries; advanced 7 to the technical sales stage.

Innovation project (6-person team, Urban Modeling Chair) on a multimodal route-planning platform for Casablanca's transport network — Carried out alongside Daba'Go, this project directly fed into its design. • Operational coordination of the project and deliverables; liaison with the Chair's tutors and researchers. • Full functional modeling of the system (UML: use cases, class and interaction diagrams). • Field study of user needs (survey + on-site mapping of shared-taxi stations). • As part of the team: a mobile-app prototype for multimodal route planning (tram, bus, shared taxis, walking) and public-transit signage concepts

Company project (Centrale Casablanca × Maghreb Steel) on managing transport flows across production sites, port and customers. As project lead: • Full mapping of logistics processes and flows — a reference the company lacked, which became a lasting working tool for its logistics team. • Centralization of fleet and route data. • Designed an Excel/VBA prototype to flag 30-day truck-scheduling bottlenecks.
