I am a bilingual engineer, specialized in development finance and sme’s technical assistance. I’m a trained agricultural engineer, majoring in agricultural mechanization. Then I obtained a European Master's in food processing professional studies.

I also underwent professional courses in banking and financial services (agriculture finance, sme's finance, green finance, Islamic microfinance, risk management), project management, local development and poverty reduction strategies, management and leadership, and environmental and social risks management.
At the professional level, I have been working for the past ten years in the Cameroonian public agency in charge of SME’s development.
As the first technical director, I have monitored a good number of the studies to collect the needs of the Sme’s in terms of technical assistance, then we develop the support training modules, recruited and trained different consultants to assist. We develop, as a team, a catalogue of nearly thirty business development services.

I was also in charge of the activities related to the facilitation of SME’s access to the markets and financing. We developed partnerships with banks and microfinance institutions, as well as with market distributors.

Beforehand, I worked for ten years with the first private Bank in Central Africa, managing a development program for rural development microfinance, first as head of division at a regional level, then as head of department at the national level, and finally at the international level.

At the same time, I was also in charge of the monitoring of a portfolio of agricultural and agribusiness projects.
