About
As the Director of Global Programs at 14 North Strategies, a consulting firm focused on providing insights for decisions in Africa, I lead a team of analysts, researchers, and consultants who deliver high-quality and timely products and services to clients in the public and private sectors. With over 16 years of experience as a political scientist, I have developed a deep expertise in European defense and West African politics and security, conducting research for and consulting to the United States defense community and other stakeholders on strategic and management issues. I have organized and hosted webinars, consulted to Mali's National Security Council, participated in exchanges with foreign counterparts, and published multiple reports and articles on relevant topics. I am passionate about advancing the understanding and cooperation between the US and its allies and partners in Africa and beyond.
