About speakers
I am not an average Mechanical Engineer. Of course, I know how to calculate heat, design with a factor of safety, analyzing processes and develop a maintenance plan for mechanical systems. However, I'm also an entrepreneur, without fear of new challenges, who loves innovation, multicultural, highly motivated and with excellent communication and interpersonal skills (and also good organizing parties, I've been told). In high school (USA) I started to explore the internet with some web design classes. In uni during my engineering courses, I designed a couple of websites, participated in the creation of a car for Formula SAE, part of AIESEC and the student government. Worked at Schlumberger where I managed operations of 7-8 digits USD, created maintenance manuals for all the parts used in the Rig-Up. After I went to France, where I studied French and also created some websites before starting to work at Jumia. At Jumia (backed by Rocket Internet, Goldman Sachs, Orange, AXA, MTN) I worked in the SEM and Metasearch teams that were responsible for +35% of the bookings and had a growth of 350% for SEM & 230% for Tripadvisor, reducing the cost by 55.92%. After that period, the CMO allowed me to lead the Mobile team and manage a significant budget for launching apps and ensure a high retention of the acquired users.
View the profileI'm an entrepreneur who thrives on challenge and solving significant problems. My educational background is in both engineering and management, and it helps me understand problems from multiple perspectives. Nutrition, fitness, and living a virtuous life are important to me. My business goals are social goals, because I believe for-profit business is the most effective way to achieve social good. I believe in a decentralized world that empowers individuals everywhere, and am actively working to create that future.
