I’m Jean-Luc Mengome, and I dedicate my passion and expertise to empowering international industrial SMEs and mid-sized companies—whether already international or aiming to grow globally—to succeed in African markets. With over 20 years of experience, my journey began on offshore drilling platforms in West Africa and the North Sea, where I developed resilience, precision, and adaptability in some of the most demanding environments. From there, I transitioned into leadership roles in the oil and gas industry, successfully establishing and expanding international subsidiaries across Africa.

This path has given me an in-depth understanding of Africa’s operational, cultural, and social landscapes while honing my ability to navigate complex multicultural collaborations. For the past five years, I have been guiding industrial companies through their market entry, expansion, or repositioning efforts in Africa—securing each phase of their projects to turn ambition into tangible success.

My dual Franco-African heritage, strengthened by a training at a prestigious French military preparatory academy, is a unique asset that bridges African traditions with European business structures. I offer tailored support built on resilience, integrity, pragmatism, and responsible leadership—ensuring a strategic, grounded, and successful approach to doing business in Africa.
