I have always had the passion to surpass my humble beginnings where, I realized at an early stage that exception performance, in any undertaking, is the winning formula.

I later received my major BBA in Accounting and Finance from the Zanzibar University before joining NMB Bank in 2001 as a Management Trainee at Ifakara Branch.  I went on my MBA from the University of Dar es Salaam in 2009 while working for NMB Bank. Currently I am a Zonal Manager for Southern Zone. Without a doubt, excelling has always been central in my work life.  

I’m currently attending the 2018 Rabo Partner Talent Program (PTP) in the Netherlands. Rabo Partners has arranged Talent Programs since 2011, inviting a selected potential talent group of staff from their Partner banks; the 2018 PTP comprises of Partner banks from Asia, Africa and South America. It was like a dream come true to be appointed to attend the program at the Netherlands. The PTP aims to help talented banking professionals and potential managers to improve their Personal Development. This Talent program equips participants with a better understanding of Rabobank and International banks in Africa, Asia, Europe and South America as well as understanding and accepting intercultural barriers.

The program’s design allows you to attend classes and group work in different locations of Rabobank Head Office at Utrecht and local banks regional offices in Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague to name a few. It is not a one stop class. The PTP at Rabobank is about Performing, Learning and Enjoying! 

This program will expand my leadership perspective at an international and national level. There are also opportunities to be exposed to international developments in the field of innovation, which I will take back the knowledge acquired to NMB.

On top of the list of my interests rests travelling to different historical and game parks. I have since visited some notable destinations; I had never been to Europe. NMB has managed to open the world for me this far. This is an exciting moment in my lifetime and a reminder for me that hard work always pays.

Rabobank Head Office is located at Utrecht City which is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands. As tourist now something I personally like about this place is beautiful Canals which are lined up with residential houses, shops and restaurants. The right place to take a rest and enjoy. Utrecht is a calm area not overcrowded like other Cities, no traffic jams is perfect place to explore by strolling around and enjoy the beautiful buildings and scenery.Its real amazing!!

I am grateful and I take this opportunity to thank the NMB Management for giving me this opportunity. Work smart, be honest, be humble and have passion for whatever you are doing.
