Fatou Diallo holds a Master's degree in Agribusiness Management from the Institut Sénégalais de Recherches Agricoles (ISRA) partnership program and spent four years at the West African Development Bank (BOAD) structuring livestock finance products for pastoralist communities in Senegal, Mali, and Côte d'Ivoire.

Her career has straddled the intersection of traditional livestock economies and modern financial systems — precisely the space where CattlePrice Africa operates. She has worked with Tabaski (Eid al-Adha) livestock supply chains valued at over 300 billion CFA francs annually, helped design cattle-collateral lending products for rural microfinance institutions, and advised on halal certification for Middle Eastern export markets.

At CattlePrice Africa, Fatou covers the financial and export pillars. Her writing explains how cattle owners can treat their herds as financial assets, access export markets, and use tools like the CattleBank model to earn returns on their livestock. She also leads the platform's Francophone content strategy. She speaks Wolof, French, and English.
