Alric Mintsa, a Gabonese finance and IT professional, founded Mbolojob, an online employment platform designed to connect Gabonese talent with professional opportunities in Gabon and abroad.

Mintsa developed the platform between Paris and Libreville with the aim of enhancing Gabonese career paths and simplifying the link between recruiters and candidates. He said he wants to transform the way Gabonese professionals access job opportunities.

Mintsa launched Mbolojob in January 2024 as a talent marketplace where candidates can create profiles, showcase their skills and attract recruiters. The platform also serves the Gabonese diaspora by facilitating closer ties with the national labor market.

Recruiters from Gabonese companies, as well as foreign firms operating in Gabon or abroad, can access a broad database of profiles. The candidates come “from all over the world,” which allows employers to target both local talent and members of the diaspora.

In parallel, Mintsa holds the position of Head of IT and Digital Strategy at Sopra Steria Consulting, a management and digital transformation consulting firm in France. He also works as a licensed football players’ agent accredited by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA).

He earned a second master’s degree in financial management in 2009 from the Paris School of Business. He began his professional career in 2009 as a business analyst in securities at HSBC Technology Services in France.

Later in 2009, he joined PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as an IT auditor. In 2010, he joined SQLI, a European digital transformation group, where he worked successively as an e-banking consultant, insurance consultant and IT consultant. Between 2016 and 2018, he worked as an IT strategy consultant at DXC Technology, a Paris-based digital services company.
