Work with Ibrahim

Consultant and advisor helping mining companies and multinationals succeed in West Africa by turning vision into value across cultures and contexts.

When mining companies and multinationals operate in West Africa, the opportunity is significant — but so are the challenges. Strategies often stall between vision and execution, and projected value fails to materialize. Success in this region requires more than technical expertise. It takes cultural fluency, geo-political awareness and the ability to communicate across languages and contexts.

Ibrahim Doumbia brings that combination. Fluent in English, French and Bambara, he sells the vision across cultures, communicates on the front lines and ensures that organizations realize the business outcomes they set out to achieve. By bridging strategy, culture and execution, he helps leaders operate with confidence and grow with impact in some of the most complex environments in the world.

How I Work

Consulting & Advisory

Running effective operations in West Africa demands more than a playbook from headquarters. Cultural dynamics, team alignment and shifting regional realities can undermine execution if they’re not addressed directly.

I work with mining companies and multinationals to bridge those gaps. Fluent in English, French and Bambara, I help leaders align global strategy with local execution, strengthen stakeholder relationships and build systems that work across borders.

Highlights (sample, can be swapped in):

  • Advised international firms on stakeholder engagement strategies in Mali and Côte d’Ivoire

  • Guided mining operations through cross-cultural team alignment to improve safety and productivity

  • Supported leadership teams in navigating regulatory and community expectations

Sales & Strategy

I help organizations translate vision into measurable growth. My focus is on creating go-to-market strategies, strengthening sales execution and aligning teams around shared objectives. By combining cultural fluency with business acumen, I enable companies to compete and thrive in West African markets.

Highlights (sample, can be swapped in):

  • Designed sales playbooks that improved client acquisition and account retention

  • Developed go-to-market strategy for a regional distributor entering Mali and Côte d’Ivoire

  • Facilitated cross-border negotiations that increased revenue and deepened stakeholder trust
