But Thierry is staying in this same exciting space, now as the CEO of Orange Money Group. A big challenge, and I can't think of a better man for the job.
Best of luck with this next chapter!
Working with Thierry on bringing adoption to mobile payments in Tunisia through a unique partnership with Flouci (by Kaoun) has been an absolute joy. I am sure we will look back at the foundations we built here too as defining for the structure of the modern economy in Tunisia
The event is entitled “Powering Africa’s Digital Leap”, and it features a lineup of Africa's best (and me 😅 )
If you’re in NYC and want to connect, RSVP below, or message me. I would love to chat!
🗓️ Tuesday, June 3rd | 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET
📍Mastercard Office, New York City
Beyond excited to join Open Startup and Mastercard next week in NYC to discuss how African fintechs are reshaping global financial inclusion, and the journey we went through at Flouci (by Kaoun) to build rails for Tunisia's payments to thrive.
I haven’t been on twitter in a while, nothing more exciting can bring me back here! A new partnership with big ambitions to change payments in Tunisia!
Congratulations to the laureates of yesterday’s @TAKREEMorg in Muscat, 🇴🇲 for their important achievements!

Another country's first! We launched virtual cards on Flouci (by Kaoun) thanks to a Visa BIN sponsorship with our partner BTE. One more infrastructure layer on our path to making access to financial services easier, cheaper, and for all connected people.

@X is the only social media platform I tried to be addicted to but couldn't.
Still, its ability to curate interesting content to (passively) consume, is fascinating.
Attention is obviously now focused on the crisis in Gaza, but West Bank violence has also increased. The UN reports 170 settler attacks in the West Bank, and 121 Palestinians have been killed since October 7. Israel must end this violence.
Blinded by the thirst for revenge, the Israeli government fails to see the (explosive) secondary effects: while dead children will never bother you, the surviving ones will.
Probably the best thing you'll see today.
In 2017, a group of developers hilariously competed for who could create worst volume control interface in the world.
