He has also worked across investment consulting, private equity exposure in Africa, client services transformation, operating model optimisation, and technology-enabled service delivery.
In addition to his corporate leadership experience, Olrick-Anselme serves as General Coordinator and Vice-President of ASOMIP Congo, an orphanage foundation operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo. His wider work reflects a long-standing focus on social impact, community development, responsible investment, and practical technology deployment in emerging markets.

“Olrick-Anselme joins TraCerLab at a critical stage in our development.

His experience across financial markets, technology services, governance, and impact-led initiatives gives us the leadership capability required to convert our vision into scalable solutions for governments, industry, mining communities, and institutional stakeholders.”
He added:
“As Chief Product Officer, Olrick-Anselme will play a central role in shaping our product roadmap, strengthening our platform architecture, and ensuring that our solutions remain grounded in both scientific discipline, real operational conditions while benefiting from a structured AI layer. His appointment reflects our commitment to building practical, credible, and future-ready infrastructure for responsible mineral supply chains.”
Olrick-Anselme Olenga Disashi, Chief Product Officer of TraCerLab Group, said:
“I am delighted to join TraCerLab at a time when the need for transparent, ethical, and data-driven mineral supply chains has never been more important. TraCerLab sits at the intersection of science, technology, ESG, field realities, and responsible economic development. That combination creates a powerful opportunity to build solutions that are not only technically robust, but also meaningful for communities, governments, industry, and global buyers.”
He continued:
“My focus will be to help scale TraCerLab’s product vision into best-in-class, deployable, and trusted solutions. This includes advancing the company’s traceability platform, strengthening the integration of scientific and operational data, supporting ESG-driven product capabilities, and embedding emerging technologies such as digital evidence layers, advanced analytics, geospatial intelligence, blockchain-enabled traceability, tokenisation frameworks, and responsible AI-enabled decision support.”
TraCerLab’s broader direction includes the development of an integrated product and service ecosystem designed to support traceability from extraction through downstream supply chain processes. The company aims to combine analytical footprinting, field data capture, compliance workflows, digital chain-of-custody records, ESG indicators, and advanced data intelligence to unveil visibility throughout mineral supply chains.
The appointment also supports TraCerLab’s ambition to bridge the gap between scientific research, technology deployment, field operations, and institutional-grade governance. By strengthening its product leadership, the company is positioning itself to support mining communities, governments, industry participants, auditors, buyers, and development stakeholders with solutions designed for operational practicality, transparency, and long-term trust.
As global demand for critical minerals continues to increase, responsible sourcing and traceability have become central priorities for governments, investors, manufacturers, and civil society. TraCerLab’s approach is designed to contribute to this wider transition by helping create more reliable, transparent, and accountable mineral supply chain infrastructure.
