About
See my career
Communicate, connect, bring the moment to life
I’m François Xavier Mendy, FX Mendy on stage. A bilingual French / English master of ceremonies, voice and communication consultant, I work from Dakar where three worlds I care about meet: sport, culture and development.
My path was built in the field. At IBP Senegal, WIEGO and Africa Web Services, I learned to carry messages to institutions, civil society organisations and companies. I then founded PUNTO CLIC, a creative and multimedia agency that supports organisations from strategy to image. Certified in international sport management (CIES / FIFA) and studying for a Master’s in Communication for Development at CESTI, I combine field experience with academic rigour.
On the mic, this dual background makes the difference: I prepare every event like a communication project, I keep the pace, I read the room and I let the moment breathe. From weddings to international conferences, all the way to announcing sailing at the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympic Games.
My promise? Controlled delivery, rigorous preparation and an event people remember.

What people say
Couples, conference organisers, partners: they share their experience.
I especially appreciated the way you created a real bond between the two families, bringing a spirit of conciliation, tolerance and restraint. I noticed the many clever turns of phrase you used to calm things down and bring everyone back to what mattered. And the moment you got them all on their feet for a shared dance, so they could truly enjoy their day, was simply remarkable.
Thank you for your positive mindset, your contagious enthusiasm and your professionalism, expressed through a pleasant and natural personality that adds real value to the speaker you introduce.
I wanted to thank you not only for the performance but also for the sacrifice you made. Despite the unexpected, you stayed calm. You ran the event flawlessly. Truly, thank you brother, and all the best. May the Lord guide your steps.
I’m always struck by the excellence and accomplishment in your work. Keep up the great job! People dream of finding masters of ceremonies like you for their events. Thank you for your dedication. Gaccé ngalama bro ✌️
During my work in Senegal, I was able to see first-hand both the professional and human qualities of François Xavier MENDY. A dynamic and available young executive, he was always keen to share his knowledge so I could best carry out my duties as project coordinator. Friendly, modern and entrepreneurial, François Xavier always moves forward; he is entirely trustworthy and deserves to succeed.
I thank the Lord for your life 🤗 you never force anything, it all comes naturally 🤗 like a gift from God. My brother, if only you knew the gift God has placed in you 🥳 may the Lord bless you beyond your expectations — diam xeweul bou beuri — you truly are the best 🙏🏾 Thank you for everything 🙏🏾
I am very pleased with your performances, your availability and your professionalism. You are a safe bet. I recommend you without reservation. Words may not describe my gratitude for the work you do for our conferences — thank you so much.
Available, open and professional, François Xavier MENDY stands out for his ability to put clients and colleagues at ease very quickly. His persuasiveness and relationship marketing make him a natural fit for customer service, marketing and public relations roles. Having worked with him on an office rental contract with the Regus group, I can attest that his skills are excellent. I highly recommend him to any company looking to improve its customer service.
