Mpumi Madisa has worked hard to climb the corporate ladder, earning herself a spot as one the world’s most powerful women, according to Forbes.
Mpumi Madisa, the CEO of Bidvest, has climbed to the top of the corporate world, establishing herself as one of South Africa’s leading chief executives by heading a company with a R96.55 billion market cap and an estimated 130,000 employees.
“A month before I wrote my matric exams, my parents split, so when I started university, my mother made it clear there was no money beyond registration,” Mandisa “That is when I knew that I had chosen the wrong career, and there was no way I was going to reach year seven,” she added. “I didn’t know at the time it was a Bidvest subsidiary. The CEO told me my job was to tell them why they were losing clients despite getting a lot of new business,” Madisa says.
“The only reason I left was the elections were around the corner and the political nuances were heightened, and there was not much work being done, and I am not a political person,” said Madisa. At Bidvest, she has served in multiple senior roles, including General Manager of Business Development, Divisional Director of Business Development, Corporate Affairs Director, and Sales and Marketing Director, among others.
