Sanodea Group is a transformational company founded and led by Mr. Jean Y. Marais, a visionary executive with over 30 years of global leadership across mining, commodities, digital transformation, e-commerce, and strategic consulting.

We represent a new paradigm of African companies: grounded in legacy, purpose-driven, and built to deliver measurable impact at scale. Sanodea blends African insight with global execution — taking Africa to the world, and bringing the world to Africa. Our solutions are strategic, precise, and globally relevant.

Under Mr. Marais’ leadership, Sanodea has executed projects and advisory mandates across Africa, Europe, Latin America, North America, and Australia — embedding global perspectives into every initiative while remaining deeply rooted in African realities. We bridge emerging and developed markets, connecting regions, industries, and stakeholders with clarity, efficiency, and purpose.

Through six specialised divisions — Advisory, Innovations, Commerce, Resources, Life, and Legacy — Sanodea delivers operational excellence, business transformation, strategic advisory, technological innovation, and intergenerational value creation. Each division transforms insight into action, strategy into outcomes, and ambition into scalable impact.

More than a collection of businesses, Sanodea is a mission-driven Group built on systems thinking, strategic clarity, and deep executional expertise. Vision meets structure, legacy powers execution, and innovation amplifies impact — across industries, geographies, and generations.

Sanodea exists to unlock Africa’s full potential while exporting excellence to the world and integrating global best practices to advance Africa’s growth. We translate ideas into action, insight into results, and ambition into enduring value — positioning ourselves as a globally relevant, execution-focused, and future-ready African company.
