Bio
Jehanne BOSCO
I've had the great opportunity to meet Rachida for a project in Africa; Rachida has an outstanding knowledge of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa! She was a gold mine of information on digital innovations in Africa and women initiatives; she most definitely helped me reach out to the right people locally. Rachida has a deep understanding of local cultures and customs which is key to facilitating business development and networking. She is a strong woman with a sharp eye, very detail-oriented. She knows where to look for the right information and how to bring people onboard with her ideas. Rachida has a real positive can-do attitude, is very caring and loyal. Anyone who would want to work with her will be lucky to have Rachida in his/her team!

Rachida et moi, c'est une histoire qui a commencé il y a de ça trois ans. J'ai eu la chance de compter parmi mes tuteurs du programme CAP Prépa de l'ESSEC cette personnalité unique. "Ce qui permet à l'Homme de vivre, c'est l'acte". Cette citation de Jean-Paul Sartre résume le talent de Rachida. Il ne s'agit pas seulement d'une consommatrice, mais c'est l'un des grands acteurs du monde de demain. Il est clair ici que vous aurez affaire à une grande philanthrope. Sa vision humaniste des choses est un élément essentiel qu'il ne faut pas négliger dans une équipe. Important à de grandes causes, sa mobilité, son volontariat et son implication ont produit le bon déroulement de nos projets communs. En tant que mentor, même si nous ne sommes plus amenés à travailler ensemble POUR L'INSTANT, elle reste une oreille attentive et une aide précieuse.
