Professional background
Twenty years of
getting it delivered.
I'm an award-winning certified project manager — PMP® and PRINCE2® — with over 20 years driving strategy and delivering high-impact, transformational projects across Africa. My specialism is project design, planning and implementation.
I've been, and continue to be, a teacher and mentor to project managers around the world. Seven prestigious leadership and project management awards have followed that work — but the part that has kept me in it is watching other people's projects, and careers, come good.
Current role
Project Manager — Mbandi's Consultancy
Content creation & writing
Unfiltered, on purpose.
As a digital creator, I share unfiltered career lessons, mentorship and motivation with a community on LinkedIn and Facebook, and my book, Overcoming Imposter Syndrome, takes on the mindset barriers that keep capable people small.
The book
Overcoming
Imposter Syndrome.
Written for people who were conditioned to be humble at the expense of being noticed — the ones who over-prepare, under-claim, and let someone else say the thing they already knew.
Owning your voice is not arrogance.
It is leadership.
