Dr Thokozile Lewanika Mpupuni- Navigating Life Transitions

Dr Thokozile Lewanika Mpupuni’s mission is to create socio-economic impact and transform Africa’s unrealised potential through liberating leadership greatness in individuals, teams and organisations.  She exists to inspire and empower. She lives her mission through coaching, performance consulting, strategic facilitation, speaking and in her current role as Group
Head of Leadership, Learning and Talent for the Absa banking Group. Thokozile’s brilliance lies in her ability to drive vision with execution excellence across an organization and ‘through’ levels. She combines analytical rigour and insights from scientific training (PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from the University of Cape Town) with accelerated consulting capabilities (McKinsey & Company) and experience in blue chip corporates (Novartis, Discovery Limited, Absa) to deliver game changing performance in individuals, teams and organisations across Africa.  She also trained as an
ontological coach with the Newfield Network.  The motto that drives her is:“delivering that which people thought impossible, because human potential is truly limitless”.  Thokozile’ interests include history, music, art, reading widely and observing nature.
