About Cheryl Kujenga: I enjoy solving business problems and have high motivation to achieve and win in a variety of areas. My strength is in my ability to bring together the power of numbers with an understanding of business operations and strategy execution. My experience has served me well in understanding factors that enable turnaround and growth in companies, and this is key to my current role. I am attracted to new and cutting-edge ideas and concepts, and am not afraid to combine the tried and trusted with more innovative approaches. I have a passion for identifying and developing strong teams, respect others' needs to express their creativity, and can work well with others to create and innovate. I believe in the power of having more women, not only in the workplace, but in senior and decision making roles in organisations. My Executive MBA Thesis was titled: “Breaking the second glass ceiling: Exploring the career progression of women from senior leadership to c-suite roles”. It explored the societal constructs that result in the low number of women in these roles as well as the “felt-experience” of those who had attained the roles. I am honored to have been awarded the 2019 Private Sector CFO of the Year by the African Women Chartered Accountants (AWCA) and to have been nominated for the CFO Forum’s 2020 CFO of the Year Award.
