With over 30 years of work experience in the field of agriculture and environmental sciences, I am currently the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences at UM6P - Mohammed VI Polytechnic University. In this role, I oversee the academic, research, and outreach activities of the college, and foster collaboration and innovation among faculty, students, and partners. Prior to joining UM6P, I was the Director of the Sustainable Intensification Program at CIMMYT, where I managed a global team of researchers and practitioners working on improving the productivity and profitability of smallholder farmers. I have a PhD in Agronomy from Universität Hohenheim and a MSc in Irrigation Engineering from Utah State University and Agricultural Engineering degree from Université catholique de Louvain. My core competencies include strategic leadership, interdisciplinary collaboration, project management, and stakeholder engagement. My mission is to advance the knowledge and practice in agriculture and environmental sustainability, and to contribute to the social and economic development of the communities I serve. I value diversity, innovation, and excellence, and I strive to bring these values to my work and my team.
