Ideation & Implementation, Co-founder at Emé Designs

My name is Cheikh (Shake) or C as you like. I have a bachelor's degree in computer science and a master's in marketing and business intelligence. My curiosity led me to discover sustainable development, leadership, civic leadership, communication, and Design Thinking through courses and fellowship programs. Thanks to this versatility, I've oscillated between several sectors and positions over the past 15 years. From government, as a protocol officer, to organizations, first as an independent consultant in systems thinking, facilitation, motivational strategies, public speaking, and project design. I then became an intrapreneur, to help doers do better, and co-founded a small business (Emé Designs) in 2013. Emé is an agency that provides support services to NGOs, companies, and individuals. We help our clients bring their ideas to life in a way that makes an incredible impact, from conception to implementation and beyond. I've been lucky enough to learn from these diverse and daring initiatives, which I believe have shaped my personal and professional experiences, with failures I take on and successes I still defy. Now I want to take the time to LISTEN and guide, if possible, to the best of my knowledge. So, if this resonates with you and you'd like to be truly LISTENED TO, do not hesitate to book a FREE appointment with me. It’s my way of being grateful for the privileges I have enjoyed throughout my career.
