Tell us about your career journey – where did it all start?

It started in a Big 4 company with ACCA, where I have grown as a professional accountant, auditor and people leader. The abilities I acquired have allowed me to further develop in the telecom and fintech industries, get international experience and become the first women CEO in the company since its inception, and a mother of three children.

What would your younger self say if they could see you now?

Follow life-long learning and continuous professional and personal development. Being an ACCA fellow member, I've had a myriad of opportunities for learning and practical experience. I would tell my younger self to dare, be assertive and empathetic. Be always true to yourself and follow your dreams!
