Saliha Khanum
I used to think that I could not create a business and only people with certain credentials and lifestyle could do it. When I heard Amel speak I started believing that it was possible and went on a journey to commit to my vision despite all the highs and lows of life.
Sharoya Ham
Prior to hearing Amel speak, I could not see myself as a business owner. Amel helped me completely shift my perception and fears around entrepreneurship. I also got a clear framework to define my business and make sure that it is aligned with my lifestyle. Amel gave me the guts to believe I could do it, and I did it!
Annette Van der Feltz
Amel completely disrupted (in a good way) the comfortable path to “kind of somewhere” which I was happily skipping along. After her presentation, I did some major thinking as her insights helped me adjust my pitch to effectively reach new clients.
Cécile Cuvilliez
Sometimes there are encounters like this that happen at the right time, words that resonate in your head at important times. Amel’s presentation at the French Morning event helped me reflect on my journey and encouraged me to make myself a priority. I could finally put my vision into words and much more. I attended her speaking engagements three years in a row, and I got so much energy out of it each time. Amel is a real ray of sunshine.
Keynotes presentations and panels
“When you can sell ideas, you can change the world”
My personal story to entrepreneurship and social impact:
I share my story living in Uganda at age of fourteen that led me to launch my first social impact venture, fall in love with marketing, leave my family at age sixteen to move abroad and live on my own, start my career and then build the business I have today while living across four continents. I use my story as a thread to trigger mindset shifts and provide key tips for the audience to take action, bring their vision to reality and make the world a better place.
Depending on your audience and your needs, my keynotes and contributions to panel discussions can be adapted.

"We were lucky to have Amel as a speaker at the Forbes Women’s Summit in Vienna. She inspired our audience with her entrepreneurial journey living on various continents and fascinating stories of other women.

Know more about me
Hi! This is Amel Derragui
I am a global citizen raised across various cultures. Since the age of fourteen, I have been passionate about entrepreneurship and social impact.
After a corporate career in sales and advertising, I launched my portable business as a marketing consultant for global organizations, which allowed me to move from one country to another and gave me more freedom with my time.
A few years later, I decided to share what I learned along the way and the methodology I developed for growing a business that aligns with your needs. My proven framework has since helped hundreds of solopreneurs and small business owners around the world start, grow or scale their businesses.
I've spoken at international stages for various organizations like Forbes, the World Food Program, and the Ban Ki-Moon Foundation, covering marketing, entrepreneurship, women's empowerment, and social impact topics.
If you're looking to inspire for action and help your community fulfill their potential, let's connect. I'm here to support you!
