​
I'm a global citizen with roots in Africa, Japan, and France, and I call Canada home. I founded Octo D, an edTech startup that focuses on B2B multilingual eLearning module development, while travelling extensively.
Passionate about alternative learning styles, travel and business development, I also launched Nomad Coliving in 2018, a residence for digital nomads and entrepreneurs, the first of its kind in Montreal, Canada.

Nomad Coliving
Nomad Coliving is a pilot project initiated by Octo D and a local digital nomad group in 2016, willing to start up the first of its kind residence for local and international entrepreneurs, freelancers and remote workers.
We are offering accommodation to digital nomads for a period of 1 to 6 months downtown in Montreal. The residents are selected through an application process by a committee that will choose candidates that are most likely to benefit from this experience.
​
A program of weekly social activities and local impact actions are planned by your hosts, the local entrepreneurs.
