My background

About Me

As an experienced business analyst and project manager, I have developed solid expertise in entrepreneurship by launching internationally recognized digital innovations and raising funds from investors. As an innovation strategy consultant, I support organizations such as UNDP, OIF, the World Bank, PwC, and Enabel in designing private sector development programs in Africa, covering key areas such as agriculture, tourism, education, health, and digital technology.

I founded Entourage, a platform that democratizes access to experts in Africa to offer personalized advice and accelerate careers, businesses, and skills. Having myself benefited from the expertise of other professionals at critical stages of my career, I want to empower everyone to overcome the obstacles that hinder their ambitions: lack of resources, network, or strategic support.

Entourage aims to facilitate connections, learning, and, above all, action to build a better future for Africa. My mission is to help those who want to bring their ideas to life or boost their projects. If you’re looking to turn your challenges into opportunities, my one-on-one sessions, combining experience, innovation, and networking, will guide you in your strategic choices to move your projects forward.

Reviews

An inspiring and open-minded session! Gilles encouraged me to connect more with people passionate about artificial intelligence to fuel my curiosity and develop new skills. This session made me eager to explore concrete AI applications within my field.

Linda Fandin

A high-quality mentorship session! The segment on prompt display and organization really helped me structure my thinking. Gilles’s explanations were both technical and easy to grasp, making the session truly valuable.

Luc Damiani

A clear, dynamic, and highly practical session. I’ve already started applying Gilles’s first pieces of advice, setting up a research timeline to better structure my learning process in AI. Gilles shares his knowledge with passion and truly inspires experimentation.
