ABOUT
Cécile Voigt is a French financial inclusion specialist with over 14 years of experience combining hands-on capacity building with high-level policy and strategy work across Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific.
Training is at the heart of her career. Since 2018, she has served as a Tutor for Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, running the online courses Certifiicat d'Expert en Microfinance, Certificat d'Expert en Finance Agricole Durable and Certificat d'Expert en Finance Numérique — reviewing course modules, grading assignments, facilitating discussion forums and leading webinars for professionals worldwide. She also designed and developed a full SME finance certification for bank employees and managers on behalf of the Egyptian Banking Institute, covering both managerial and technical modules, and built practical training tools and workshops for banking agents, loan officers and cocoa producers in Côte d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. From 2020 to 2025, she also taught financial inclusion and project management at Sciences Po Bordeaux, bringing her field experience into an academic setting.
This training expertise is grounded in deep technical knowledge of inclusive finance: gender finance and women's economic empowerment, digital financial services, and SME and agricultural finance. She has worked closely with central banks and regulators — leading the revision of the WAEMU and CEMAC regional financial inclusion strategies, and authoring the Women's Financial Inclusion Policy for the Central Bank of the Solomon Islands. She has also produced numerous case studies and evidence reviews for the African Development Bank, the Alliance for Financial Inclusion, CGAP and the Mastercard Foundation.
A graduate of the Grenoble Graduate School of Business (M.Sc. in Management, Finance specialization) and holder of two Frankfurt School certifications (Microfinance and SME Finance), she is fluent in French and English and works professionally in German — combining strong analytical and research skills with a genuine talent for transmitting knowledge to practitioners and institutions alike.
