Yacine Samb:
Change Artist, Bridge Builder
A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE AND STRATEGIC TOOLKIT TO EMPOWER YOUR LEADERSHIP
Hello You,
My name is Yacine Samb, and I was born into a matriarchal tribe in Africa. I take pride in being recognized as one of Finland's 25 most influential female business leaders (Financer.com, 2024).
I inspire through public speaking, influence decisions as a consultant and board professional, uplift individuals as a mentor, and foster collaboration within my Matriarchal Tribe. My goal is to diagnoze and fix the world's challenges, one act at a time.
With a background in competitive gymnastics, over 20 years of professional modeling, 14 years at Google, an Executive MBA, and even conquering level 40 in Pokémon Go, I show dedication to excellence and resilience in all I do.
Take my hand to change your world.
The Art of Change by Yacine Samb
UNIQUE APPROACH
is my unique philosophy to drive transformational change through data, fearless empathy, and action.
Like the Palaver Tree, a central gathering place in many African communities, I believe in creating spaces where diverse perspectives can come together to discover, learn, and act. I've learned firsthand the power of resilience, having rebuilt myself many times over—from navigating a childhood marked by civil war to thriving in the dynamic world of tech.
My superpower is connecting seemingly disparate dots. I blend analysis, geopolitical and economic insights, and a deep understanding of human behavior to create strategies that address immediate needs while building a more sustainable future.
This isn't just my story; it's an invitation. An invitation to connect, collaborate, and co-create a world where your voice matters and your actions resonate.
Spheres of
My Vision
AMPLIFYING VOICES
Can you imagine how different the world would be if we would concentrate on hearing all voices - not just the dominating ones? Throughout centuries, a massive amount of wisdom and breakthroughs have been left in the shadows as women, people of color and marginals haven’t had their voices heard. My vision is to work as a voice whisperer, attracting and amplifying the voices that deserve to be heard. It is a superpower to any organization to learn and hear the treasures in their ecosystem.
FIXING THE EXISTING
Few people or organizations start from scratch; most have layers of cultural humus to cultivate. Before new things can grow, it’s vital to analyze the current situation. It’s said that culture eats strategy for breakfast. My vision is to help ambitious change-makers refine their culture by identifying core values and consistently implementing them. I want to work as an uncompromising guide towards more equitable ecosystems. It won’t be easy, but it works—as long as we trust the process and both put it all in.
CREATING NEW
Making equitability business as usual is my passion. Sometimes it’s easiest to start from the scratch. My vision is to give birth to something new and beautiful by creating the strategy, concept and/or team. This might be e.g. a new business, innovation or unit that will start to change your ecosystem from within, working as a living example of new normal. Role models are needed to show the way - prototypes of equity.
BRIDGING EXISTENCES
We all live in our own pretty tiny bubbles. The world will never change without people who build bridges between worlds by bringing people together, acting as interpreters and catalysts. Translating a book means writing it again. Similarly, piercing bubbles means writing a new, shared narrative.
Want to find a way to another reality? My vision is to work as an agent of change, building dialogue and common ground between your world and the one you want to reach and unlock.
