Sebastien Clamorgan-Thierry: Venia International as a shareholder of Eat'n'go
The services provided by the global firm include the area of business development: Venia International helps identifying underserved segments, niches and underexploited markets to focus on, as well as approaching lead generation, customer acquisition, and value innovation. Other areas in which the firm specializes in are business intelligence, M&A assistance and lobbying. The quality of its services is guaranteed by the considerable number of successes achieved and by the many partnerships and joint ventures built in the MENA region over the years. The firm led by Sebastien Clamorgan-Thierry, indeed, is active in different sectors of the industry, ranging from the fields of shipping, port management and port project, to those of logistics and food & beverage. As a shareholder, the firm is part of a joint venture with Eat'n'go, a Nigerian Food & Beverage Group and the exclusive master franchisee for Domino's Pizza, Cold Stone Creamery, and Pinkberry Gourmet Frozen Yoghurt. Dedicated to bringing food & beverage brands to Africans, the Group started operating in 2012 and has recently reached a new milestone with the opening of its 110th store in Nigeria, thus strengthening its position as the leading QSR operator in the country. A big push toward these successful results has been given by the long collaboration with Sebastien Clamorgan-Thierry's firm: in difficult times like these, when the Covic-19 pandemic has led to a high level of uncertainty about the economy, it is reasonable to think that perseverance is a key element of success, in both good and bad times. Just like Samuel Johnson said, "Les grandes œuvres ne sont pas exécutées par la force mais par la persévérance" (great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance).
