Chief Executive Officer
"Driving the evolution of a modern, integrated, and competitive Central African commodities framework capable of local asset optimization and seamless global market alignment."
Charles-Daniel Tchen is an agro-industrial developer specializing in international commerce, macro-logistics networks, and cross-border structural frameworks across Central Africa. Academic foundations in International Business from Brunel University London and training at Cheltenham College (UK) equip him to effectively bridge regional African production with international capital markets.
