Here are the excerpts of our interview with Nhlamu.

You have extensive experience in management consulting and strategic human resources across various industry sectors. Tell us how your career journey has evolved over the years.

My journey started during my Master’s program where I specialized in Psychology. I finished school at a young age and by 21, I was enrolled in a post-graduate program which gave me invaluable insights on behavioral psychology which I’ve been able to leverage throughout my career. After school, I had the option to start my own practice, but I was offered an opportunity to join a niche consulting firm and that’s where my career began.

Since then, I’ve worked in Management Consulting and Human Resources and advised Financial Services, Mining and Professional Services clients on a range of topics, but mainly focused around organizational development.
