I have followed a very atypical path, both personally and professionally. I was born and raised in Gabon and spent 6 years in France pursuing a Master’s Degree in Electronical Engineering. During my studies and my professional path, I lived in more than 10 different countries across 4 continents. I am fluent in French and have an advanced level of English. After working in electricity and water operations for a few years, I decided to use data to understand and manage the challenges and resources in my field. Eventually, I became a project manager.
Skilled in implementing business intelligence projects, I leverage real-time data analysis to drive informed decision-making and optimize operations. I excel in change management and team leadership, driving acceptance of innovation throughout the organization. Passionate about data science, I've acquired certifications in Power BI and Google Data Analytics and Data Science to automate processes and enhance efficiency.
One of the greatest strenghs about being a project manager with an engineer background is that not only I can handle data management aspects of a project, but I can also fully understand, participate and even lead the technical aspects of those same projects.

The Business Intelligence System (BIS) project, which I proposed in 2017 at the Société d’Energie et d’Eau du Gabon (SEEG) and lead for 7 years, leverages advanced analytics to transform decision-making processes in the energy and water sectors. Developed primarily using Windev, the BIS focuses on crafting dynamic dashboards and real-time analytics platforms, with a strong emphasis on data processing and cleaning. This ensures high data integrity and usability, crucial for strategic decision-making.
This initiative has revolutionized how operational, financial, and commercial strategies are devised, providing key stakeholders with immediate access to vital data. By automating data handling and enhancing data quality, BIS has greatly improved efficiency and responsiveness across the organization, reaffirming my commitment to ongoing technological and process improvements in the industry.
