Location: Mauritius
Geography served: GoGlobal’s full footprint in Africa

Description of role:

My role encompasses establishing and expanding GoGlobal’s global employment solutions throughout Africa. A significant aspect of my responsibilities is to emphasize the abundant opportunities that Africa presents to MNCs seeking global expansion.

I am dedicated to showcasing the vast potential and advantages that Africa offers to MNCs. Through my efforts, I aim to raise awareness about the untapped markets, rich resources and skilled workforce available for hiring in Africa. By highlighting these employment opportunities in Africa, I strive to assist MNCs in making informed decisions and tapping into Africa’s colossal growth potential.

Professional background:

In my 16 years of professional experience, I have gained expertise in strategy development, operational efficiency and legal compliance across various regions of Africa. As the former Group Head of Operations at an EOR in Africa, I have deepened my understanding of the local EOR landscape and enhanced my operational management skills. Additionally, as a co-founder of a legal consulting firm in Mauritius, I bring extensive experience in company formation, compliance and contract management to the table.

What are you most excited or looking forward to as GoGlobal launches its Global Employment Solutions in Africa?

As GoGlobal launches as an EOR in Africa, I am most excited about the boundless possibilities and opportunities that will unfold. It’s a chance to witness the transformation of the African continent and its untapped potential. I look forward to playing a key role in helping businesses and international companies expand into Africa, streamline operations and open doors to new talent pools. It’s a privilege to play a part in putting Africa on the map and showcasing the incredible talent and opportunities the continent has to offer.

What do you want companies to know about hiring in Africa?

Companies often have reservations or lack awareness about the potential and quality of professionals available on the continent. However, I want companies to know that Africa boasts a wealth of highly skilled and talented individuals who can bring tremendous value to their organizations.

Moreover, partnering with local experts is crucial when venturing into Africa. Navigating the local regulations, cultural nuances, and employment practices can be complex. By collaborating with professionals who possess in-depth knowledge of the African market, companies can ensure compliance with local regulations while also accessing the best talent available.

The A-Team at GoGlobal can assist in identifying, recruiting and hiring individuals who possess the right skills, knowledge and ethos for specific roles.
