M. GUEYE brings an exceptional level of enthusiasm, dedication and nuanced perspective that makes Rubiks Advisory the holistic solution for businesses looking to thrive in a rapidly growing economy. His worldly experience both in the United States, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mali, Mauritania, The Gambia and other West African countries makes this firm the right choice for those companies that require professionals who think outside the box. The "IT” that sets Rubiks Advisory apart is its proximity with the client and their dedication to delivering quality services in a timely manner.
