Back to original languageAbout Christian
A graduate of HEC Paris, I was an entrepreneur for 7 years. I then decided a few years ago to focus my skills on serving the ecosystem of African SMEs and Startups. I deploy expertise useful to CEOs with a triple component: strategy consulting, innovation consulting, and fundraising support with investors.
I held positions in the Marketing Department of a French bank and was involved in marketing, pricing strategy, and competitive monitoring and analysis.
I then created my startup (fintech), within which I managed fundraising financial operations with renowned investors.
As a Cameroonian and a very attentive observer of economies and entrepreneurship in Africa, I have been publishing an annual ranking titled "100 African startups to invest in" since 2016.
I can intervene in more or less complex situations involving preparing any African startup or SME for investor entry (Strategy consulting, and fundraising support).
