The Cameroonian stockbroker FedhEn Capital, licensed by COSUMAF since March 2023, is accelerating its structuring and sub-regional growth. In a single announcement, six key appointments redefine the institution’s leadership : Jules Samain assumes the role of CEO, Josiane Tchoungui becomes Board Chair, and four other executives join the management team, including a Country Director in Gabon.
This reorganization aligns with OHADA governance standards and the requirements of the regional financial regulator. It represents a considered transition rather than a break. Outgoing CEO Eugène Cissé Kouoh and former Board Chair Jean Claude Ngbwa highlighted the continuity and solidity of the foundations laid, expressing confidence in the new leadership’s ability to drive sustainable growth.
The new team has set clear objectives. Josiane Tchoungui aims to ensure institutional robustness and support management in implementing the development strategy. Meanwhile, Jules Samain outlines an ambitious agenda: strengthen FedhEn Capital’s operational capacity, consolidate its institutional presence, and expand influence across the CEMAC region. The goal is to meet the expectations of clients, partners, and regional authorities while advancing financial integration.
FedhEn Capital’s operational record justifies these priorities. Since its creation, the firm has participated in landmark transactions, including the 2024 BDEAC and EOG bond issuances, as well as the securitization of 15.7 billion FCFA in salary arrears for the Cameroon Development Corporation, affecting nearly 20,000 employees. Additionally, since September 2024, the company has served as the exclusive Reference Agent for the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS) in the CEMAC zone, promoting continental financial integration under the AfCFTA framework.
Geographical expansion is also central to the strategy. The opening of a Gabon office, where listed bond issuances now exceed 686 billion FCFA, demonstrates FedhEn Capital’s ambition to strengthen its presence in regional markets. Four key executives take on strategic roles: Roland Keyi as Director of Origination, Clara Ngando as Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, Eva Youmbi as Capital Markets Director, and Orchidea Komba to lead the Gabon office.
Operating across all six CEMAC member states (Cameroon, Congo, Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, and Chad), the firm aims to establish itself as a reference intermediary for sub-regional capital mobilization. This comes as the region’s economy is projected to consolidate at 2.7% growth in 2025, with a rebound expected in 2026 according to BEAC. This restructuring and expansion illustrate FedhEn Capital’s strategy: combining strong governance, financial expertise, and regional presence to play a leading role in the development of capital markets in Central Africa.
