Ivory Coast.
Dominique Ouattara is a businesswoman, specialized in real estate. Since 1979, she was CEO of AICI International Group, a company that employs today more than 250 people on three continents. After strengthening her presence in Côte d'Ivoire particularly in Yamoussoukro, Bouaké, San Pedro and Jacqueville, Dominique Ouattara established, in 1989, AICI in Europe by choosing France as the European showcase. After a first branch in Paris, AICI continues its development in the south of France, since 1991, by launching an office in Cannes. In 1993, "Malesherbes Management", a realtor’s agent managing office of joint ownership, which manages more than 200 Parisian buildings, extended the expansion of AICI International Group.

Born in 1953 in Constantine to Jewish parents in French Algeria, Dominique Nouvian moved to Côte d'Ivoire in 1975 with her first husband, Jean Folloroux, professor at Lycée Technique in Abidjan, with whom she has two children. Her husband died in 1984. She met Alassane Ouattara, Deputy Governor of the BCEAO in Dakar the following year, who late became President of Ivory Coast; they married on August 24, 1991, in the Town Hall of the 16th arrondissement of Paris. She is also a Christian despite being born Jewish and her husband being Muslim. Her eldest son, Loic Folloroux (named after her first husband) is Director of the Africa branch of Armajaro Trading Group Limited, a company specializing in trading cocoa and raw materials.
In 1980, she conducted humanitarian missions in Côte d'Ivoire to the people and disadvantaged children, and in 1998 she created Children Of Africa Foundation ("Children Of Africa"). It includes dozens of volunteers. Princess Ira von Fürstenberg is the godmother of that foundation whose goal is "the welfare of the continent's children by providing support, listening to and affection". The association has to her credit, in Côte d'Ivoire, the construction of a center for abandoned children and another for those receiving minimum family structure in Abidjan, a school in Kong, various renovations and supplies equipment and the promotion of immunization campaigns. The association is also active in Gabon, Madagascar, Central Africa and Burkina Faso.
