Yaoundé

  • Cameroonian born, French raised, German and Chinese educated Afropolitan idealist. I spent the formative years of my youth in Africa during a period when the structural adjustments programs advocated and nearly imposed by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank were destroying lives in the so called third world countries.
  • After a stay in Germany, trying to pronounce words such as “Angstschweiß” or “Klingelknopf” and learning how to cook a good Rote Grütze, I landed in Beijing, China, somehow following the path of my grandpa. Having immerged myself in the Chinese Culture during the Beijing experience, I ended up living and starting a business in Shanghai, the city they call “la Pute de l’Orient”. Since roughly three years now I’ve been working on a doctoral thesis in management & economics and teaching International Human Resource Management at several European universities.
  • Speaker on different topics related to the African continent (mostly business and societal issues).
  • Won a couple of prizes and awards :)
