Personal Introduction & Profile
I was born in France From Tunisian background, I lived in Tunisia during childhood and then came back to france to finish my studies.
Just after University I moved to the UK where I have been working for Cummins in Strategy, sales and Marketing in the Europe, Middle East and African markets.
Africa is a very exiting market and in the same time very challenging. The continent is boiling with energy and skills and people who could acheive great things, but it is frustrating to see that investment is still slow in comparison to other areas in the world.
If we can collectively help facilitating business and build bridges for investment that benefit local communities, it could be like a positive snow ball effect.
I am currently starting a web based market place to put in contact clients in Europe and US with Freelancers mainly in developping countries. This could potentially open a door to French companies to outsource to French speaking Africa for example.
I am very proud of being part of this group that haven't chosen the easiest task! And I will be very happy to help anyone of you if you need any kind of support!

Africa Freelance Kick Off!!!

Dear Fellow members,

It is very common in Africa for people to
work as independent workers and the culture is very open to Freelance
concept. Yet, there are many infrastructural challenges that make it
difficult for the continent to be more involved in freelance work over
the internet, like payments and access to resources.

I am
convinced that in this group, we will be able to think about ways we
can help develop this type of work in Africa and facilitate the access
to remote… Continue
