An accomplished entrepreneur, Isabelle Boblaï Douassoh has chosen to put her experience at the service of her homeland. With BDI, she is bringing every energy together to build a prosperous, united and forward-looking Tanda.TO BE CONFIRMED — “A daughter of Tanda”: confirm her exact link to Tanda (birth, childhood, family).
Together, let’s build Tanda.
From Tanda to Africa’s big stages, then back among her own people: the journey of a woman who decided that success only means something when it is shared.
Isabelle Boblaï Douassoh comes from the Tanda department, in Gontougo. A generous farming land, attached to its traditions, where elders’ words matter and mutual help is part of daily life. That is where her values took root.
For more than ten years she has led DZ Consulting, which she has developed from a communication agency into a strategic advisory firm with a regional reach. Communication, development strategy, institutional relations, major events: she has led assignments in Liberia, Mali, Burkina Faso, Congo, Cameroon and Gabon.
With this experience behind her, she made a choice: to put her skills at the service of her homeland. In 2025, she went out to meet the people of the Tanda department, from elders to young people, from women’s groups to association leaders, to listen before acting.
Out of these meetings a movement was born: BDI. Its tagline says it all — “Together, let’s build Tanda”. Training young people, supporting women, modernising farming, attracting partners: everyone has a place in it.
“My commitment is to put all my skills at the service of my nation and of Africa, by creating economic activities that will have a meaningful impact.”
