Jean D'Amour INGABIRE

I design data-driven, market-based solutions that connect business ventures to economic opportunities, enabling entrepreneurs and enterprises to grow, create jobs, and contribute to sustainable livelihoods. As Program Manager at the AIMS Industry Initiative, I work at the intersection of social entrepreneurship, inclusive market systems development, skills, and labor-market opportunities.
