Morocco-born. Raised between Casablanca and the Amazonian forest. Trained in corporate boardrooms, tested on the ground.

My expertise was extracted directly from the soil, the ocean, and the open market. Over the last decade, my journey has spanned from researching regenerative agroecology in the Amazon and structuring circular supply chains in Brazil , to executing massive deregulation pivots and go-to-market strategies for global corporate giants.


How I think

Read before you move

I don’t attack markets. I read them. The Danone Nutricia launch succeeded because we didn’t fight the WHO advertising ban. We used it as a design principle. The best path is rarely the obvious one. Finding it requires patience before speed.

Question the question

The Mzab region wasn't failing because farmers needed better wheat. Wheat itself was the wrong crop for a territory being destroyed by drought. I replaced the model entirely. 50 tons of organic harvest. 72% ROI. The most expensive mistake in business isn't the wrong answer. It's the right answer to the wrong question.

Stay close to the ground

I’ve slept next to the fields I was building. I’ve picked waste alongside the catadores I was professionalizing in Rio. Not as performance, but because you can’t redesign a system you haven’t touched. Every decision I make comes from proximity, not abstraction.

I work primarily in green tech, agriculture, regenerative hospitality, circular economy, and creative industries. Not by accident. Because these are the spaces where building something new matters more than optimizing what’s already there.

"When I’m not operating, I’m surfing. Or trying to understand why humans do what they do. I study behavioral science, consciousness, and the kind of cinema that rewires how you see the world. I speak five languages, not because it’s useful (it is), but because every language is a different way of thinking. I’ve lived in places most consultants wouldn’t vacation in. That’s not a flex. It’s how I’m built."
