About me

My professional background spans both the private and public sectors, where I have developed cross-disciplinary skills, including strong analytical skills, and experience managing complex projects involving high-level stakeholders. I also gained substantial international experience, working across several countries - particularly in Africa (Guinea, Morocco, Côte d’Ivoire)- and on large-scale projects with multicultural teams.
