Dominique Minoue Ndome
Founder & Managing Director
Clients engage Invest Shepherds to work directly with an operator who has sat on every side of a cross-border transaction — investment agency, government, investor, and international company. That breadth is rare; it is the core of how we advise.
From Chicago, we lead U.S.–Africa strategy, critical minerals readiness, and North American investor engagement. Through Shepherds Oud Advisory — our European subsidiary in The Hague — we deliver European representation, pipeline development, and commercial diplomacy for destination clients and project sponsors.
