I’m Jean-Luc Mengome, and I dedicate my passion and expertise to empowering international industrial SMEs and mid-sized companies to succeed in African markets. With over 20 years of experience, my journey began on offshore drilling platforms in West Africa and the North Sea, where I developed resilience, precision, and adaptability in some of the most demanding environments. From there, I transitioned into leadership roles in the oil and gas industry, successfully establishing and expanding international subsidiaries across Africa.

This path has given me an in-depth understanding of Africa’s operational, cultural, and social landscapes while honing my ability to navigate complex multicultural collaborations. For the past five years, I have been guiding industrial companies through their market entry, expansion, or repositioning efforts in Africa—securing each phase of their projects to turn ambition into tangible success.

My dual Franco-African heritage, strengthened by a training at a prestigious French military preparatory academy, is a unique asset that bridges African traditions with European business structures. I offer tailored support built on resilience, integrity, pragmatism, and responsible leadership—ensuring a strategic, grounded, and successful approach to doing business in Africa.
