In her role, she will oversee programming operations and building strategic partnerships for vAfrica, which officially launched on January 15, 2024. Ms. Grimaud brings years of international digital media expertise and key relationships that have connected African curated or created content to the rest of the world.
The foundation of her career was laid during her time at Curtin Mauritius, where she received a degree in Mass Communication, specializing in Journalism and Corporate Screen Production. Most of Grimaud's experience came from her two-year stint as a journalist at the MBC, the national state broadcaster of Mauritius. This hands-on experience provided invaluable insights into the world of media, while having the rare privilege of training under the guidance of Chris Edmund, a renowned director and writer.
A pivotal shift in her career occurred when she stepped into the world of content distribution as a Content Acquisition Officer. This role allowed her to explore diverse styles and approaches of content producers globally, fostering long-lasting relationships through strategic global deals. This experience not only contributed to her growth as an acquisition officer but also laid the foundation for her directorial role at Reckon Creative Agency.
