In a career spanning Procter & Gamble, Nando’s, Diageo, Boston Consulting Group, Vodacom and General Electric in South Africa, the UK and Uganda, Mabunda shows why he strives for continuous and active improvement of his business acumen and leadership skills.

Mabunda’s path offers insight and practical advice for anyone who wants to succeed in their career, to build and lead a business. Expect inspiration and personal examples of how to:

- Spot opportunities

- Learn from business setbacks

- Grow an organisation by mentoring talented people

- Make the most of every situation

- Achieve well-being and manage stress

This is the perfect toolkit to take you to the top.
