Maureen Ochang, the President of the Project Management Institute (PMI) Kenya Chapter, embodies a leadership philosophy deeply rooted in mentorship, strategic thinking and a commitment to empowering others.
With more than 14 years of experience in the financial sector, Ochang offers invaluable insights into navigating the complexities of project management. "Mentorship is central to my leadership approach, especially when supporting women beginning their careers in project management.
I offer a safe, empowering space where they can grow," Ochang says. "I encourage them to seek help when needed, as it shows self-awareness and builds strong professional relationships.
