Wallonia is home to many innovative SMEs in water treatment, waste recovery, and renewable energy. However, the lack of sales profiles with a scientific background limits access to these high-quality solutions in some emerging markets.

Originally from Senegal, I am particularly aware of the challenges posed by gaps in basic services, both for businesses and for the well-being of populations in many French-speaking countries. With a background in bioengineering and a year of experience in a water treatment company, I have become familiar with the critical technical issues in these markets.

My experience also includes four years as the manager of a small business in the entertainment industry, where I developed strong skills in team management, predictive maintenance of connected equipment, and B2B/B2C client relations. This versatility, reinforced by the AWEX Explort training program, has given me a solid foundation in international trade.

Today, I am convinced that my dual scientific and commercial profile is a valuable asset for Walloon companies in the water and energy sectors looking to expand internationally, particularly in Africa.
