Pamela Mutembei, Credit Bank’s Head of Business, talks to VIVIAN MAINA about the main challenges that comes with being the boss and why having an 8 to 5 job is just not enough.

Vivian Maina
The Unapologetic Boss Chic

I was 22 years old when I landed my first bank job as a teller. It was messy because we used to serve more than 500 people daily. I quit after a year and moved to Chase Bank. I regard the quitting as one of the best moves I have ever made in my life.

At Chase Bank, we used to rotate to different departments constantly. I stayed there for 6 years, before moving to Credit Bank as a Branch Manager. I am now the Head of Business and my job entails looking for partners. A job I immensely enjoy because I get to talk to people and add value to their work.
