Given my education, job experience, professional, interpersonal and language skills (I am perfectly fluent in English & French), knowledge and expertise acquired in the fields of audit & financial management within world class organizations such as the World Bank, the African Development Bank and E&Y, I have a strong confidence that my profile is adequate for senior positions and consultant work. |

Professional Experience: |
I am an Executive Partner at SOCAGEF (subsidiary of SOCAGEF Canada), a consulting firm in Financial Management, Strategic and Economic analysis and studies.
I also do consulting work for OA & Associates, an Accounting and Auditing firm based in East Africa, Kenya and Rwanda.
In addition to my consulting Work, I am currently a guest lecturer at ITECOM, ISM business Schools, Madiba Leadership Institute and IAM business school in Dakar, Senegal, where I teach Accounting, Financial and operational Audit, Internal Control and Banking and Business Strategy.
From November 2013 to December 2014, I worked as a long term consultant - Financial Management Specialist, ORPF2- with the African Development Bank (AfDB), based in Tunisia and handling North Africa portfolio. My main task consisted in obtaining reasonable assurance that aid funds are used for the purpose intended by assessing the Financial Management arrangements during the preparation, implementation and completion of each lending or grant operation and where relevant, requiring the borrower to mitigate risks posed by identified weaknesses. In addition, I played a key role in selecting and reviewing audit firms, terms of references and quality of work; Building FM capacity of Borrowers and Project Implementing agencies and enhancing the use of country systems are other major aspects of my job.
Before joining the AfDB, I was an accomplished Senior Financial Analyst with the World Bank, with over 7 years’ experience in loan disbursement, financial management, project monitoring and portfolio management. I consistently ensured the viability of million dollar IBRD and IDA projects. For 4 years, I was based in Johannesburg Regional Center, South Africa, where I handled the Africa region portfolio comprised of 7 countries. I was subsequently promoted to senior financial analyst for Europe and Central Asia (ECA), based in Zagreb and subsequently in Washington DC. Given my outstanding achievements in handling challenging countries I was co-opted in the Financial Management review team, an elite team within the World Bank, in charge of auditing (internal control and operational audit) the World Bank’s Regional Centers (Johannesburg, Manila, Brasilia, Chennai and Beijing) including Washington DC Headquarters.
Prior to the World Bank, I was a senior audit manager with Ernst & Young France and Africa (including Kenya, Rwanda, Congo, Guinea, Mali, Senegal) with over 11 years’ experience. I conducted audit assignments of major mining, telecom, bank & insurance, industrial and services corporations within the private sector and public sector and parastatals such as Port authorities, National Post offices, Hospitals and Social security offices, energy and Water national companies as well as various AfDB and World Bank funded development projects implementing agencies and trust funds. In addition, I was involved in establishing an SME-adapted audit methodology for African enterprises.
