Victorine Sarr, is a young Senegalese woman, after having capitalized several years of experience with two industry giants Apple Inc. and L’Oréal, chose to return to Senegal to create Lyvv Cosmetics, a company specializing in the production of cosmetic products for black and mixed skin.

After completing her secondary cycle in Senegal, Victorine did her graduate studies in France and the United States, where she graduated respectively in marketing at ISG Paris and in management and corporate finance at St Jones University (New York).

Following these studies, she started her career as a Business Specialist then Store Manager at Apple (Paris and Dakar), then as Sales & Marketing Manager at Valdafrique (former distributor of L’Oréal in Senegal).

Created in 2015 Lyvv Comestics is a company producing cosmetic products specially designed for black and mixed skin. Lyvv offers a full range of a wide variety of shades for all black and mixed skin types. We find in its range of products such as foundations, powders, blushes, and obviously lipsticks… But also accessories such as brushes and the whole panoply to perfect your make-up. Victorine’s ambition was to create a Beauty Compagny. “I chose to start by launching a make-up line because it is the fastest growing segment in cosmetics, because African women have a sense of taste,” she said in an interview.

Held by this great inspiring woman, Lyvv Cosmetics is now enjoying real success in many countries such as the United States, France, South Africa and of course in Senegal, the country of its origins. Great experiences are shaping up for her Lyvv Cosmétics brand, which she intends to expand to the four corners of the world.

CEO AfrikaTech

Comme beaucoup de personnes j’ai connu l’Afrique à travers des stéréotypes : l’Afrique est pauvre, il y a la guerre, famine… Je suis devenu entrepreneur pour briser ces clichés et participer à la construction du continent. J’ai lancé plusieurs entreprises dont Kareea (Formation et développement web), Tutorys (Plate-forme de e-learning), AfrikanFunding (Plate-forme de crowdfunding). Après un échec sur ma startup Tutorys, à cause d’une mauvaise exécution Business, un manque de réseau, pas de mentor, je suis parti 6 mois en immersion dans l’écosystème Tech au Sénégal. J’ai rencontré de nombreux entrepreneurs passionnés, talentueux et déterminés. A mon retour sur Paris je décide de raconter leur histoire en créant le média AfrikaTech. L'objectif est de soutenir les entrepreneurs qui se battent quotidiennement en Afrique en leur offrant la visibilité, les connaissances, le réseautage et les capitaux nécessaires pour réussir. L'Afrique de demain se construit aujourd'hui ensemble. Rejoignez-nous ! LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boubacardiallo
