Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Fatima
I support financial institutions, fintechs, and companies in their projects in Africa and emerging markets.
Specifically, I work on structuring trade finance solutions, international payments (FX, cross-border), as well as strategies for entering and developing new markets. I also help identify and connect the right banking partners (local banks, correspondent banks, DFIs).
With over 15 years of experience in international banking, I combine technical expertise with on-the-ground understanding of African environments, allowing me to propose both strategic and operational solutions.
I generally work on assignments such as:
- structuring financing or banking solutions
- developing financial partnerships
- supporting expansion in Africa
- advising on international flows and regulatory environments
