I hold a master degree in Development Economics and International Institutions Management from the Bocconi University in Milan. I joined the United Nations in 2000, working first with the UNIDO Investment and Technology Promotion Office in Vietnam, then with the UNDP office in New Delhi. I was working since October 2003 at the UNIDO Representative Office in Rabat as programme officer, coordinating the different components of the Moroccan Integrated Programme, with a special focus on clusters and export/origin consortia.

As cluster specific activities I have been involved in: supporting the Moroccan Government in identifying regional clusters, identifying companies and developing with them business plans and collective projects in order to improve their product’s quality and exportability, monitoring and evaluating the impact of clusters and consortia on member firms. Mains clusters assisted had the following product focus: leather, wood, pottery, electronics and mechanical devices. Through the export consortia project, I was dealing with SMEs and cooperatives networks active in several sectors, including: textiles, leather, and agro industry (industrial and traditional producers).
