About

I have always been passionate about the energy field, especially market & regulations and new renewable technologies. I have written several articles on energy topics, such as hydrogen, the energy situation in Tunisia and Morocco and floating solar. In order to capitalize and develop both my technical and business skills, I started my career as a management consultant at BearingPoint and then as a strategy consultant at AFRY management consulting. Looking for new challenges, I moved to the UAE to help diversify the energy landscape. My experience covers different types of projects in renewable and conventional energy. My professional skills include project management, strategic development, M&A, renewable energy, energy policies, operations and performance.
