So Ruvimbo, before we talk about PIND, tell us a little more about yourself?

Ruvimbo: Well, thank you for asking! I'd be happy to share a little more about myself before we dive into the PIND talk.?

I hail from the beautiful city of Harare, Zimbabwe, where the sun always seems to shine a little brighter. Growing up, I was lucky to be part of a small but lively family. With three siblings, our house was always buzzing with laughter and excitement.?

As for my education, I attended a local school where I discovered my passion for learning and exploration. From there, I ventured into higher education, studying Sociology at the University of Zimbabwe.

Since you have joined PIND you have been working on a number of interesting clients - what is it like to be in Harare and working for clients around the world? What’s the most interesting thing? And what’s the biggest thing you have learned?

Ruvimbo: Working in Harare while serving clients from around the world is a remarkable experience that brings together the best of both worlds.?

Being able to work with clients from different corners of the globe right here in Harare is like having a window to the world without leaving the comfort of my own city. It allows me to connect with diverse cultures, perspectives, and ideas, which is incredibly enriching.

The most interesting thing about working with international clients is the opportunity to bridge the gap between different cultures and business practices.?

The biggest thing I've learned from this experience is the immense power of effective communication. Working with clients from various backgrounds has taught me the importance of clear and concise communication, as it ensures that everyone is on the same page and working towards a common goal. It's a skill that I continue to develop and value greatly.

To sum it up, being in Harare and working with clients around the world is an exhilarating journey that broadens my horizons and teaches me valuable lessons every day.

PIND is adding team members from Africa to Cambodia - why do you think people like to work for PIND and what do you hope clients will appreciate the most about PIND?

Ruvimbo: I believe people are drawn to work for PIND because it's a vibrant and diverse work community. PIND values the unique perspectives and experiences that team members from different countries bring to the table. With team members from Zimbabwe, Kenya, South Africa and now Cambodia, this global collaboration fosters a rich and inclusive work environment that is inspiring.?

As for what clients will appreciate the most about PIND, I believe it will be the exceptional level of service and the fresh insights that our diverse team brings to the table.

So tell us more about Harare? What are your favorite things about Zimbabwe’s capital?

Ruvimbo: Harare is the vibrant heart of Zimbabwe! There are so many wonderful things about this bustling city that I absolutely adore. Firstly, the warm and welcoming spirit of the people in Harare is truly unmatched. Some of my favorite things about Harare are its rich cultural heritage. Exploring the local markets like Mbare Musika, is an absolute treat for the senses, where you can find everything from colorful crafts to delicious street food. The city also has green spaces such as the Harare Gardens and the Mukuvisi Woodlands. Lastly, the city is home to numerous galleries, theaters, and music venues that showcase the immense talent of local artists.?

All in all, Harare is a place that leaves a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to visit or call it home.

And now, for folks who might be in Zimbabwe, what do they have to eat and where would you send them?

Ruvimbo: One dish that I highly recommend trying is sadza. Sadza is a staple food in Zimbabwe. It is often enjoyed with a variety of flavorful accompaniments. For an authentic and memorable sadza experience, I would suggest visiting a local restaurant like Pamugoti.
