Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I structure and secure international trade transactions on the Africa-Europe corridors. Founder of ARFIS Trading, I executed 15 transactions representing over €287,000 in deployed capital in 7 months on Nigeria and Cameroon flows to France and Belgium.

Former Executive Director at Goldman Sachs (8 years), I combine field expertise in trade finance with high-level banking rigor. I support entrepreneurs, importers, and professionals who want to structure their trade flows, manage their counterparty risk, or understand the mechanisms of international trade finance.

What I can do for you: structure an import/export transaction, set up a contractual framework and guarantees, analyze counterparty risk, or provide individual coaching on Africa-Europe trade finance.
