International cooperation advisor and career diplomat with over a decade of experience supporting governments and regional organizations on governance, trade, migration, and health within multilateral systems.

I also serve concurrently as the Affairs and Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Rome-based Specialized Agencies (FAO, WFP, IFAD), providing strategic advice on EU policies, food security, and trans-Mediterranean cooperation.
In Geneva, I advised governments and regional groups on trade, human rights, health, and humanitaria issues; led negotiations as the representative of the 45 African members of the WTO in Dispute Settlement Reform during the COVID-19 period with WHO, pandemic relief package and other UN agencies; and represented West African members at UNAIDS Programme Coordinating Board meetings, contributing to more than 25 technical assistance initiatives and HIV/AIDS programme adjustments that improved effectiveness by around 40%.
