Currently serving as Chief Executive Officer of Chanas Assurances S.A., Mr. Henri Théodore BAYOUAK stands as an iconic figure in African insurance. His path of excellence began at the Technical University of Berlin, where he earned a specialization in Mathematics Applied to Finance and Insurance (Dipl. Math. OEC.), followed by positions at Skandia/Old Mutual and AXA in Germany, where he developed advanced expertise in actuarial science, risk management, and audit.

In late 2007, he dedicated his expertise to developing the African insurance sector by joining the ACTIVA group in Cameroon. As Head of the Financial Insurance and Micro-Insurance Commission of ASAC (Association of Insurance Companies of Cameroon), he drives sector innovation, particularly through the development of micro-insurance solutions and parametric agricultural insurance products.

His dual expertise, combining international technical mastery with a deep understanding of African challenges, establishes him as a key player in the transformation of the continental insurance sector.
