Checkmate & Connect - Casablanca's Startup Community
Details
You’re growing. Opportunities are expanding.
But how do you spot real opportunities in a market that’s still evolving?
On Wednesday, June 3, we’re hosting Calina Hasegawa, Digital and People Operations leader, for a conversation on growth, adaptation, and what opportunities lie ahead in Morocco.
The idea is simple:
Some of the biggest opportunities appear where others still see uncertainty.
Originally from Brazil and now building in Morocco, Calina has spent her career bridging markets, people, and operations — from global companies like PayPal to marketing and growth leadership across different countries and cultures.
After choosing Morocco as a place to build, she developed a unique perspective on the country’s evolving ecosystem:
where opportunities exist, what international professionals notice, and why Morocco is becoming increasingly attractive for business, talent, and innovation.
During this session, we’ll explore:
✨ What opportunities are emerging in Morocco today
✨ Why Morocco is attracting more international talent and business
✨ What it takes to adapt and build in a new market
✨ Lessons from working across cultures and fast-moving teams
This session is part of the PAWN Program – Phase NEXT, focused on execution, growth, and navigating what comes after momentum begins.
