Mariam Djibo Appointed Chief Executive Officer of TogetherCocoa

TogetherCocoa is pleased to announce the appointment of Mariam Djibo as its Chief Executive Officer.

Mariam Djibo brings more than 25 years of experience in finance, investment, and business leadership across Africa and Europe. Her career has spanned financial advisory, private equity, and executive management, culminating in the leadership of one of Côte d’Ivoire’s leading microfinance institutions.

Over nearly twelve years in private equity, Mariam held senior roles at Emerging Capital Partners and Adenia Partners, where she led investments across Francophone West Africa. In these positions, she worked closely with businesses to accelerate growth, strengthen governance, and drive long-term value creation.

In 2019, Mariam was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Advans Côte d’Ivoire. During her six-year tenure, she successfully led the institution’s expansion while deepening its engagement with agricultural communities, urban and rural entrepreneurs, and women-led businesses. This experience further strengthened her conviction that sustainable development is achieved through solutions that combine financial performance, inclusion, and tangible social impact.

Throughout her career, Mariam has built a distinctive leadership approach that balances financial discipline, organizational excellence, and a commitment to creating lasting economic and social value.

It is this combination of experience, leadership, and purpose-driven vision that the TogetherCocoa has chosen to place at the heart of its mission by entrusting Mariam Djibo with its executive leadership.

La Fondation TogetherCocoa annonce la nomination de Mariam Djibo au poste de Directrice Exécutive.

Depuis plus de vingt-cinq ans, Mariam Djibo évolue dans la finance, l’investissement et la direction d’entreprise, en Afrique comme en Europe. Son parcours l’a menée du conseil financier au capital-investissement, avant de prendre la direction d’une importante institution de microfinance.

Pendant près de douze ans, elle travaille dans le capital-investissement, d’abord chez Emerging Capital Partners, puis chez Adenia Partners, où elle supervise les investissements en Afrique de l’Ouest francophone. Elle y accompagne des entreprises dans leurs enjeux de croissance, de gouvernance et de création de valeur.

En 2019, Mariam Djibo prend la direction générale d’Advans Côte d’Ivoire. Pendant six ans, elle accompagne la croissance de l’institution et développe notamment son action auprès du monde agricole, des populations urbaines et rurales ainsi que des femmes entrepreneures. Cette expérience conforte son engagement en faveur de solutions qui conjuguent viabilité économique, inclusion et impact concret sur les populations.

De l’investissement à la direction d’entreprise, Mariam Djibo a développé une approche qui associe exigence financière, connaissance des organisations et recherche d’un impact économique et social durable.

Ce sont cette expérience et ces convictions que la Fondation TogetherCocoa a choisi de placer au cœur de sa construction, en lui confiant sa direction générale.
