En résumé

* I’m multicultural
I have 3 citizenships. I was born and raised in Senegal, I’m half Lebanese and half Italian and I live in France since 2000. I consider this triple cultural mixing (African, European, Oriental) as a major asset to provide flexibility to adapt myself to changing environments and interact with different people. I like diversity and I do believe that differences are a powerful feature for creativity and innovation.
It has also granted me several languages skills. I’m fluent in French and Italian, have full professional skills in English and Spanish, a strong knowledge of Wolof (Senegal mostly spoken language) and basics knowledge of Arabic.

* I’m a financial expert
I’ve almost 10 years of experience in audit (external / internal)
I spent 7 years as Financial Auditor Manager at Ernst & Young Paris within the Middle Market BU where I used to work for several activities as Energy, Healthcare, Services, Industry or Retail and often in an international environment.

I decided to join the Group Internal Audit Department of Air Liquide in 2012 as Senior Internal Auditor and Manager responsible for the audit quality of the Group.
I have established competencies in various areas:
- IFRS / US GAAP / French Gaap / Italian Gaap
- Consolidation
- SOX 404 evaluation
- Internal Audit

I also use to provide internal courses on audit methodology and accounting issues.
I'm a team player and I’ve learnt to develop strong communication skills with diverse groups and to successfully manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

* I'm an entrepreneur
I’m curious. I need action and new challenges. I’ve always been excited about entrepreneurship and I had the opportunity to get involved in the creation of Scoreway, a startup founded in 2012 and dedicated to customers’ satisfaction. I’m currently co-owner and Chief Financial Officer of this very promising company that has already won a prize for innovation and performed a 400k€ fundraising.
