Introduction

Career Trajectory and Key Decisions
I started my career in Finance and Investment in 2012. I chose this path after a trip I took to Central Africa in 2008, which made me realize the importance of innovative financing to accelerate the development of Southeast Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Eastern Europe. I was born and raised in Canada but am of African origin and always wanted to give back to my roots through a fulfilling career path.
Motivation and Vision
The desire to make this world a better place.
Handling Setbacks and Failures
I prayed nonstop, and regardless of all the times I wanted to give up, I remembered that all great achievements require perseverance, confidence in the belief that we are going to make it even when we don’t know how and when. My unwavering faith in God kept me going, gave me strength, courage, and wisdom in impossible situations and circumstances I encountered tirelessly.
Projections for the Gulf Market
The Gulf is going to become the financial hub of the world. We aim to be the banking partner of reference for large institutional investors, public investors, and corporations of all sizes seeking globalization.
