A graduate of the Institut du Marketing et du Management de la Distribution in Lille, and of the ICD Business School Paris (Groupe IGS), Chams DIAGNE began his career with Microsoft, then held the position of Marketing Manager in the E-services department of the La Poste France group.
In the early 2000s, he and a group of friends set up the Paris-based web agency Passerelle Communication Interactive, before joining Viadeo, the leading French-speaking professional social network, in 2006. As a founding member, he was successively in charge of Business Development in France, then Europe, before taking charge of the professional network's expansion in Africa in 2011, from the Africa Hub based in Casablanca.
Today, Chams DIAGNE is back on the road to new entrepreneurial adventures, with the creation of Talent2africa, a pan-African executive job platform that brings together in a single network candidates from all backgrounds interested in career opportunities in Africa.
Talent2Africa was selected by Techcrunch, an American news site specializing in startup news, as one of the 15 most promising startups in Africa.
