Rooted in Legacy. Global Impact.
Sanodea Group is a transformational company — proudly African in its foundation and global in its ambition. Established by Mr. Jean Y. Marais, a leader with more than three decades of executive and operational experience spanning mining, commodities, digital transformation, e-commerce, and strategic consulting, Sanodea represents a new generation of companies built for resilience, scale, and impact.
Our philosophy is clear: transform vision into measurable results. Anchored by the Sanodea Values Framework, the Group is structured to deliver solutions that not only address today’s challenges but also anticipate and shape tomorrow’s opportunities.
Operating through six specialised divisions — Advisory, Innovations, Commerce, Resources, Life, and Legacy — we connect African insight with global execution. We are taking Africa to the world and bringing the world to Africa — enabling digital transformation, advancing trade, unlocking resources, and driving long-term social impact. Sanodea’s mission is to accelerate sustainable growth across industries, regions, and communities.
