I am a Fellow of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants - FCCA and a Certified Public Accountant CPA who has worked 10 different African countries in different capacities over the past eighteen years.

I have worked both at operating company level as well as at group level. I started my career as an auditor working for Deloitte and Touché in Malawi in 1997, after three years in Audit I moved into the automotive industry where I worked for a company called Automotive Products also in Malawi for two years.

I then joined Celtel Malawi in 2001 where I worked for five years before moving on to Celtel International and being posted to Madagascar as Financial controller after that I was appointed as the regional financial controller for East Africa covering Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Madagascar. I then moved to West Africa as the regional director of accounting and financial systems covering Ghana and Sierra Leone after which Cell C came calling and I joined Cell C as the executive head for financial control and credit operations. Two and a half years later Globacom head hunted me, a year later I was then head hunted by Zain in my current role.
