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

I was expecting from this exchange leads to orient my professional career and to work in a sector that strongly interests me.

The exchange went very well, Issima is a real expert, who managed to give me leads and a new approach for my research.

TAVARES Jessica

I enjoyed exchanging with Issima and she allowed me to see aspects of my project that I wouldn’t have thought of at all. She gave me ideas that I have already started to use directly in my business.

She confirmed her expertise with concrete solutions adapted to my situation.

I will try to advance my project with this clear vision and come back to her when it’s a bit more concrete (like the return to Africa for example).

Thank you again to Issima!

EYEBIYI Diane

I expected to receive advice, guidance, and tools from his experience in the sector, to better position myself and clarify certain aspects of my project. The exchange with Issima far exceeded my expectations. She was able to understand my project in depth and brought me many relevant ideas. A big thank you for her generosity!
