Season 1
From Africa to Europe, Raouf brings over 30 years of experience in the software industry — and a fresh perspective on finance as CCO at SBS. When he took on the role, his financial knowledge didn’t go beyond his monthly bank statement. Four years later, he’s not only passionate about the sector, but deeply committed to making financial services a force for good. In this episode, Raouf shares how he keeps clients happy, his bold vision for financial inclusion, and why it matters to him that everyone — especially the unbanked — has equal access to money. Because, for Raouf, finance should help improve lives. Hosted by Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

"Si j’ai un enseignement à partager, c’est l’importance de réaliser un projet qui nous tient à cœur, que ce soit dans notre vie professionnelle ou personnelle : c'est une expérience qui marque pour la vie." Cécile Poulet, Directrice Générale chez Inovatic (en réponse à la question : quel est l'enseignement le plus marquant que tu retiens de ta carrière jusqu'à présent ?) Cécile a construit son parcours autour de trois domaines principaux : le commerce, le marketing et la finance. Son expérience s’est forgée dans divers écosystèmes, du luxe au textile, en passant par l'high tech jusqu'aux services financiers. Elle a ainsi tracé un fil rouge dans sa carrière, alliant data, technologie et marchés de niche. Devenue manager très tôt, Cécile a choisi de réinventer régulièrement son parcours, changeant de poste et d’univers tous les cinq ans. Ce cheminement l'a menée à son rôle actuel de Directrice Générale chez Inovatic. Elle a également exploré l'entrepreneuriat en créant une startup dans le domaine de la santé, une aventure qui l’a profondément marquée. Aujourd’hui, Cécile partage avec nous les enseignements qu’elle a tirés de son parcours, ainsi que les rôles modèles qui continuent de l'inspirer. Hosted by Ausha.
