Joanny Compaore

Few logisticians hold a mechanical engineering degree from a naval academy, a military operations master's, and a certification body's professional credential all at once. Joanny Compaore does, and the breadth explains a good deal about the career that followed. He is an entrepreneur and supply chain consultant working in operations optimization, advising mining sector companies with a focus on gold and oil, and he is most widely recognized for having served as Chief Executive Officer of SONABHY, the national oil company of Burkina Faso.

The training came first and came from four countries. He graduated with a Master of Mechanical Engineering from the Royal Navy School of Morocco in June 2010. A decade later, in June 2020, he completed an MA in Operations Management at the United States Command and General Staff College, taking coursework in leadership and organizations, human resources, and logistics operations.
