Ntombi Mhangwani (MBA) Marketing Director, Accenture

---

 I would describe myself as a rare combination of acumen, persistence and charisma. I am popular, outgoing and an initiative-taking person, yet also a person who recognises the value of pausing for quiet analytical reflection.

I have always had a huge hunger for continued learning, and an ability to master and implement the new knowledge I gain. I am currently completing a PHD in Management, focusing on Technology and Innovation. I am a firm believer in CHANGE !!

I am a leader, coach and mentor. I set time aside to develop future leaders. I am a Fixer. I pay attention to detail, customer / client experience and I focus on delighting all my stakeholders, both internal and external. I RESPECT everyone - from the tea lady to the Chairman.

I am full of and share positive energy with people I engage with on a daily basis. I have a huge smile, wicked sense of humour and I laugh a lot ... Laughter feeds my soul.

At work my CEO calls me #1, my colleagues call me "happiness". I am blessed in everyway possible and when necessary, I will 'fight' to protect and retain my brand, reputation and name.

Emotional, cultural and social intelligence are my three top and secret ingredients to building relationships, whilst my humility and ability to say I don't know OR show me OR teach me ... is what makes me a successful leader.
