The African Business Conference at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business brought together students, founders, professionals, and builders from across disciplines and geographies โ all in one room, thinking seriously about Africa, diaspora, and what comes next.
Brief life update: I moved to Redmond!
In this edition, I take you through my exciting transition into Microsoft, sharing insights from my role in business development and how I’m navigating this new chapter. From my work with the ID@Xbox team to embracing the vibrant tech culture of Redmond, I share the lessons, challenges, and opportunities that come with pivoting into the private sector.
I am most delighted to introduce Ms. Chimango Manduwi, my sister, as the new Operations Lead at the organisation I founded, the Kwathu Kollective.
We are moving to Mangochi! This is not an impromptu decision. From the very beginning, my vision was always to set up the KICC in Mangochi. At the time, we were encouraged within the project to stay within the Capital City, so I could be mentored, and learn from experienced hub managers.
