I got on my first aeroplane in 2012 at the age of 17, and it was to the USA; thus having the opportunity to visit a few states through a leadership scholarship in high school.
Formerly an Impact Acceleration Associate at Impact Amplifier, and the
first hire at Thomson Reuter’s first innovation lab in an emerging

USA and Rwanda.
My fields of expertise:
• Innovation Strategy
• Impact and M&E Design
• Conference Moderation and Digital Facilitation
• Partnerships for Good and Influence.
Testimonials
“Vuyo – you have been a rockstar and I have really appreciated
your input and expertise, and enthusiastic approach to this! Plus
your time! It’s been a pleasure working with and getting to know
you.”
Jean Alfred, Advisor – Mastercard Foundation
“Vuyolwethu moderated our first online All4Youth work readiness
program - Skills4Work, 23 July 2020. She moderated a session on
Personal Branding to provide young people with tools for the world
of work and be empowered for their next opportunity. I would
definitely recommend Vuyolwethu to moderate or speak at any
corporate event. She was extremely professional, well-prepared,
articulate and engaged authentically with the audience.”

Partner(Nestle)
“I have worked with Vuyo on two campaigns with two different
objectives. One was for Absa during the WEF Africa in 2019. The
aim of the partnership was to gain awareness for the content that
the financial institution had created for WEF and reach a new
audience. For Sage, was to create engagement within the SME
community on social media. For both projects, Vuyo was exceptional
in how she created relevant content and gave us value added
content. She was open to all feedback given to her and was always
giving her expertise to how we could better execute content. She
is a pleasure to work with and one is guaranteed a return on
investment when in a partnership with her.”
