About me

From Africa to the World and Back to Africa

I am a consultant and entrepreneur with extensive experience in Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

As a part-owner of 243 Congo Entreprise SARL (243 CE), a Kinshasa-based company, I oversee a diverse range of services offered through our subsidiary companies. These services include hospitality, real estate, car rental, ticketing, and fluvial transport.

Originally from the DRC, I have lived in the United States for over 20 years. After graduating from high school, I enlisted in the United States Navy, where I served as an aviation mechanic for four years. During my active duty, I had the privilege of serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan from 2004 to 2008.

Upon honorably completing my service, I returned to school and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from Georgia State University. After gaining valuable corporate experience at Danaher, a medical technology manufacturer, I pursued a triple MBA from Georgia State University, Sorbonne Université (Paris III), and the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

I subsequently transitioned to freelancing, offering expertise in commercial intelligence and corporate diplomacy to companies seeking to enter the African market. My work included authenticating documents for mineral acquisitions in the DRC and Power Purchasing Agreements in Kenya.

Since January 2020, I have served as the Directeur Général Adjoint (DGA) at 243 Congo Entreprise, where I oversee daily operations. During my three years in this role, I successfully navigated the company through the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving remarkable growth despite the obstacles.
