What's your overall background?

After graduating with a degree in Accounting from Zimbabwe, I worked in the accounting field in finance, hospitality, energy, and the tender industry in different parts of Africa. After working in this field for five years, I decided it was time to change my environment. This led me to apply for a two-year MBA in Sweden, which I started in 2021 where I came across Skåne Startups, and the rest is history!

What was your role at Skåne Startups?

Main duties included but are not limited to researching and analyzing about startups; interviewing founders and creating original reports about the startups; updating and maintaining the startup database, and building relationships with other startup ecosystem partners and relevant investors.

What did you enjoy the most at Skåne Startups?

I enjoyed working with a cheerful and open team. I always looked forward to talking to my team, even outside work, because they all had great energy.
