TOP 40 under 40 YOUNG Business Leaders in Zimbabwe. Super grateful to The Institute of Corporate Directors in Zimbabwe for awarding me this honor, together with some exceptional business leaders in Zimbabwe. Also using this to plug that I am in the 100 most reputable Africans 2024 list😜.
Always grateful to God whose power works within me and through whom all things are possible! Never let age stop you from making impact – I was 21 when I started lecturing at the University of Zimbabwe(independently responsible for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses), 23 when I became finance executive for Zimbabwe’s largest FMCG distribution company and 24 when I chaired a government board while also regulating a billion dollar telecommunications industry. Show up, everyday, like you belong in those rooms.
I definitely miss the work I was doing back home, but believing I am where I need to be for the next big thing for my purpose in this world.
Sidenote – This is an opportunity to show off my brother Mukundi Chifamba who is my gracious rep❤️✅.
