About Me

TEDxActivator Manager for Morocco and TEDxCasablanca Curator.

I am living in Casablanca (Morocco) since 2010 where I help my clients - mostly top 100 moroccan companies - to successfully manage and drive their organisation & IT projects in various industries.

I started to get interested in social media in Morocco a year ago, at a time when the arab spring began. There were very interesting IT moroccan blogs, but not so much about social media. So, I started my own blog on social media in Morocco, today the leading blog on this issue within the country.

I also co-created two very web-oriented events : the TEDxCasablanca first (in 2010 - first TEDx event in Morocco) and the FoursquareDay Casablanca (2012).

Today, my expertise on social media is being recognized and I am assigned various projects on it (mostly personal branding and e-influence actions plans).

I also sometimes write articles in french and moroccan press (La Nouvelle Tribune, Rue 89, Conjoncture - Magazine of the French Chamber of Commerce in Morocco, Métropolis).

At last, I happened to be double-graduated from EDHEC Busines School (France - 2006) ;-)

    A comment on Talk: Amanda Palmer: The art of asking

    Mar 3 2013: I really enjoyed this talk when I saw it at TEDActive. Good job Amanda.

    I'm reading the comments and my feeling is that this talk is not about free or not free music.But rather about following one's path when this path goes against conventional wisdom.

    Go and get a job the little voice says - She has a job.
