As far back as I can remember, I think I’ve always wanted to become a lawyer. I therefore went to law school and I specialized in international law. With Africa, close to my heart, I quickly turned to project financing because I wanted to work on impactful projects.
Children’s rights is also a subject that I cherish. I am involved in activities striving for the protection of children and the promotion of education in Africa.
Outside the office
I am an avid reader with a particular interest in Russian literature (Fiedor Dostoïevski, Leo Tolstoï, Nicholas Gogol, etc.). Recently, I discovered African literature that I was not able to learn before. I also have a strong interest in Art which I studied for two years at university. I never miss an occasion to attend an exhibition. Aside from that, I play tennis and go horse riding whenever I have time.
