Kais Sanchou

As a graduate of Ecole Centrale Paris holding a Master's Degree in Engineering, I bring over two decades of experience, during which I have demonstrated a passion for entrepreneurial endeavors, a commitment to operational excellence, and a track record of successfully leading business across multiple industries.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led the growth and scale-up of various businesses in the Middle East and Africa, ranging from startups to established technology companies. Notable achievements include developing value-added services and smart cards with telecom operators at Morpho, building and expanding the B2B business for ride-hailing and food delivery across the Middle East with Careem (subsequently acquired by Uber for over $3 billion), and, most recently, serving as the CEO of Jumia Tunisia, a leading e-commerce and quick-commerce platform, where I prioritized profitability through strategic team restructuring and operational optimization.

I am currently seeking a new and significant challenge where I can make a substantial impact.

Whether in a senior leadership role within a scaling company—be it a startup or a mature business venturing into new products and services—or in a consulting capacity, offering expertise in Strategy, Sales/Business Development, and Optimization for technology products & services and platform projects.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and discuss how I can support your organization's success.

Sincerely,

Kais
