I am Zimbabwean by birth, an accountant by training, a creative in my soul and a mother by grace. I grew up in South Africa as apartheid was falling before spending all my savings on a one-way ticket to London. I traded in my clipboard and green pen after I landed a job at Brunswick, a leading global communications firm, and I’ve never looked back. I followed my heart to Australia and so far, I’ve been lucky to run Corporate Affairs within a top 20 ASX listed company, and worked as a strategic adviser to many leadership teams and Boards on everything from company transforming acquisitions, CEO and Board succession to employee misconduct and workplace injuries. I’ve experienced the huge rush of becoming an entrepreneur, as a co-founder of Nightingale Advisors. I have the privilege of serving as a Non-Executive Director at the ALLG, an organisation focused on improving the lives and survival rates of people with blood cancer. And I’m passionate about championing gender equality and opportunity for women and girls as the Executive Director of MECCA M-POWER.
