Strategy Consultant Seeking Mentor to Transition into International Development

Hello everyone,

I’m currently looking to connect with experienced professionals working in international development, economic transformation, public sector reform, or private sector development.

My background is in strategy consulting, where I’ve worked on projects related to industrial ecosystems, local private sector development, governance, and economic transformation initiatives in Africa.

Over the past few years, I’ve realized that I want to transition toward international development missions with stronger long-term impact — especially within development institutions, multilateral organizations, donor-funded programs, or large-scale transformation initiatives.

I’m now looking for mentors or senior professionals who could:

\- help me better understand how to position myself in this ecosystem;

\- share practical advice on navigating the sector;

\- help me strengthen my profile for development-focused missions;

\- and ideally open doors or make introductions when relevant opportunities arise.

I’m particularly interested in:

\- economic development;

\- industrial policy;

\- private sector development;

\- governance and institutional strengthening;

\- public-private transformation programs in emerging economies.

I’m based in West Africa and open to international opportunities.

If anyone is willing to connect, mentor, advise, or simply exchange ideas, I’d genuinely appreciate it.

Thank you very much.
