About B2B Partners

A French Professional. An American Base. A Francophone World.

B2B Partners LLC is not a large consulting firm. It is an independent practice built on one person's biography - and the rare combination of languages, cultures and markets that biography represents.

I am French, born and raised partly in francophone Africa. I studied in Paris, built a professional career across France and international environments, earned a PhD from the University of Paris-Sorbonne, and eventually established myself in St. Louis, Missouri - where I live and work today.

B2B Partners LLC is the structure through which I help companies, investors and organizations navigate the business corridor I know best: between the francophone world and North America.

The Profile Behind B2B Partners

Languages

• French - native language
• English - operational, written and spoken (American English, daily use)
• Additional languages - available on selected corridors for specific engagements

Academic Background

• PhD in Education Sciences - University of Paris-Sorbonne (France)
• The doctorate is not a sector label. It is a signal of analytical rigor, structured thinking and credibility with institutional counterparts.
• Master in Business Management from Paris Sorbonne University.

Professional Experience

• Decades of international professional experience across France and selected international environments
• Cross-sector exposure: business development, institutional relations, international cooperation
• Commercial Pilot License (CPL ME-IR) - FAA (USA) and TC (Transport Canada) certified

A pilot's license is more than an aviation credential. It reflects a culture of rigorous preparation, systematic risk assessment and disciplined decision-making under complexity - qualities I bring to every client engagement.

Geographic Background

• Born and educated in France
• Lived during formative years in francophone Africa - Mali, Senegal, Burkina Faso
• Professional experience across France and international environments
• Based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA since establishing B2B Partners LLC

Why This Profile Matters for Your Business

International business facilitation depends on a rare combination of attributes. It is not enough to speak the language - you need to understand the culture, the unspoken codes, the business norms and the relationship dynamics on both sides of the corridor.

Very few consultants operating in the US market combine:

• Native francophone identity with genuine American daily reality
• Direct personal knowledge of Francophone African business and cultural environments
• Academic credibility at the doctoral level
• An independent, lean structure that guarantees personal attention on every mandate

This is not a manufactured positioning. It is simply who I am - and what I can genuinely offer.
