Born and raised in Kigali, Rwanda, Placide is a passionate
educator whose love for learning and enthusiasm for multidisciplinary teaching and learning
resulted in various initiatives to bring learners together, his educational and professional
background is a crossroad between African, Western and Asian systems of education, which gives
him a unique perspective on global educational demands and on how to meet them. Placide
advocates the importance of mentorship, peer-collaboration and growth mindset in individual and
group development. Trained as a bioengineer before turning to science education and later to
international education management, he dreams to see more and more parents become aware of
their children’s unparalleled opportunities in today’s fast-paced transformation and of their role in
tapping into every child’s uniqueness to enable them to positively impact the world and live a
fulfilled life of ingenuity, service and contribution. Placide loves books, music, traveling, meeting
people and listening to their stories.
