Manqoba is a 34-year-old self-starter, whose obsession with self improvement and self awareness drove him to find a way out of mentally dark places and climb towards personal, academic and career success.

He currently works at Meta (formerly known as Facebook) as a Business Development Manager for International Music Publishing in London. Having left audit for the music industry in 2017, he’s made some inroads using the skills derived from his CA training to become a focused, disciplined and results-driven professional.

His multiple skills in the professional environment, including audit, finance, corporate finance consulting, executive management and now music rights deal-making has pushed him to become a well-rounded and self-aware leader in business. This also came with many challenges from starting over and dealing with steep learning curves to mastering imposter syndrome in his quest to make an impact and grow his career.

So join me as we uncover how his passion for music impacted his career choice as a Chartered Accountant.
