Régis Facia

Régis Facia is one of Benin's most celebrated entrepreneurs. Armed with a degree from Grenoble School of Business and a Master's in Marketing from the UK, he returned to Cotonou in 1994 and chose to build in Africa.

In 1995, with just 3,500 euros in capital, he founded Top Chrono, a mail and express delivery company. Over three decades he transformed it into a regional powerhouse operating in Benin, Togo, Niger, Côte d'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso, with partnerships including FedEx, Bolloré, Géoposte, and Sodexi.

Since 2006, he has served as Vice-President of the National Business Council of Benin (CNP-Bénin) and is the Honorary Consul of Vietnam in Benin. His story is a masterclass in entrepreneurial conviction on African soil.
