Aicha en quelques mots
What I can help you with:
I help organizations and mission-driven teams design and deliver high-impact projects in sustainability, operations, and digital transformation — across Africa, Europe, and the Gulf.
What makes me different:
With a background at BCG in London and Casablanca, I’ve supported top-tier clients in the mining, energy, public and nonprofit sectors. I bring a unique mix of strategic thinking and on-the-ground operational experience, especially in sustainability.
I also led waste management operations in the UAE, overseeing waste collection and treatment for the entire Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah — a hands-on leadership role that sharpened my ability to translate strategies into real-world impact.
What I deliver:
- Business plans, market assessments, and go-to-market strategies
- Benchmarking, competitor analysis, and best practice reviews
- PMO setup and management for complex transformation programs
- Project coordination and interim support on projet delivery
- Operational excellence diagnostics, targets setting, roadmaps, value tracking
- Sustainability strategy (ESG, circular economy, decarbonization)
- Diagnostics on waste operations, industry benchmarks, roadmap
- Organizational design and change management
Currently based in Morocco. Available for freelance missions everywhere in Africa, Europe and Middle East – remote or light travel.
