Successful Zimbabwean Women in Business and Marketing

More and more, women are taking the lead in business all around the world and breaking through the proverbial glass ceiling. Zimbabwe too has some really great women doing amazing things in business who are rarely recognized for their creativity, talent and work.

As TotalMedia UM, we are proud that 80% of staff are women, who work tirelessly to ensure that our clients are seen, heard and remembered. With so many awesome women in one place we decided to honour some of our fellow ‘wonder women’ in Zimbabwe making major moves in business and marketing. Some you may have crossed paths with and others you may not know. We recommend that you get to know them by following them (not in a stalkery way) to find out more about the work they do, and have done. We bet you will be as impressed and inspired as we have been!
