#3 Women in Leadership, Forget Everything you Know About a Linear Career Path

Mercy Randa left Tanzania abruptly as a student journalist who was deported for hard-hitting news commentary that didn't sit right with the political regime at the time. She moved to Kenya and worked on investigative pieces, a youth magazine and transitioned into financial news. As a woman in a team that only had three women, she was able to navigate this space and shift into public relations at Ogilvy serving financial clients. Currently, the CEO of her own investor relations firm, P&L Consulting and a Founder of a "Pandemic Business" that focuses on outdoor living and lifestyle, Mercy's journey is a testament to clarity on what you want and adaptability and flexibility on the journey to get there.
