I was born in Agra, India (home to the Taj Mahal, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World), and moved to Abidjan, Ivory Coast, at a very young age. I grew up in Ivory Coast, and it’s the place I call home.
My family has been involved in business for years, and I’ve grown up around it. As I got older, I started getting involved myself, working on different projects and learning how things actually work.
I’m currently studying Entrepreneurship and Finance at the University of Miami. After graduating, I plan to return to our family business and help it grow. I also enjoy learning new things outside business, especially through traveling and trying different experiences.

I spend a lot of time thinking about my decisions, understanding what went wrong, and figuring out what I can do better. I try to treat my experiences as opportunities to learn and improve.

My Passion for Exploring
Traveling is one of my biggest passions. I love looking at maps, discovering places I’ve never heard of, and imagining what it would be like to visit them in person.
One of my dreams is to take long road trips across different countries. I’d love to rent an RV and spend weeks exploring somewhere like the United Kingdom, stopping in small towns and places I might otherwise never see.
What I enjoy most is the freedom to explore without having every minute planned.
My Vision
In the future, I see myself helping lead and expand our family business alongside my father. I want to build something meaningful, make good decisions, and earn people’s respect through my knowledge, character, and actions.
At the same time, I want to have a happy family life and remain close to the people who matter most to me. For me, success isn’t only about business. It’s also about the kind of person I become and the relationships I build.
How I’m Working Toward It
I believe that before I can become a good leader, I need to keep working on myself.
I spend time reading, learning from other people’s experiences, and reflecting on my own decisions. I like figuring out what I could have done differently and then trying to improve the next time.
I’m also working on my communication skills, confidence, emotional control, and ability to connect with people. These are areas where I know I still have room to grow.
My Goals
Over the Next Year — Building Confidence
I want to become more confident, outgoing, and comfortable speaking with people. My goal is to participate in at least two social or professional activities each month, practice public speaking regularly, and reflect on my progress every month.
I also want to make the most of my time at university by trying new activities, meeting different people, and becoming more independent.
Over the Next Five Years — Making an Impact
My goal is to successfully transition into our family business and take on meaningful responsibilities. I want to lead at least two significant projects and be able to measure their impact through improvements in operations, efficiency, or business growth.
More importantly, I want to earn the trust and confidence of the people I work with.
Over the Next Ten Years — Growing Into Leadership
I hope to be managing major parts of our family business and contributing to its long-term expansion. I want to help develop new business opportunities, strengthen existing operations, and build a company that continues to grow.
My goal is to become a capable leader who understands both the business and the people behind it.
