JABU VITSHIMA is breaking the glass ceiling!
JABU
MANAGER : SERVICE OPERATIONS & TECHNOLOGY
Words by Riley Hlatshwayo
The finance industry is saturated with a certain kind of people, often erratic and fast-paced, it requires one to be precise and innovative, quick-thinking and easily adaptive; a few qualities that a woman like Jabulile Vitshima possesses. Currently serving as the Acting Head of Service Delivery in the Finance Department, sheoversees the Finance Business Innovation team, guiding them to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the industry. With a rich background that includes her previous role as Manager of Service Operations, she brings a wealth of experience and a visionary approach to her leadership.
We sat down with Jabu to chat a bit about her trajectory into the seat she now holds and what nuggets of wisdom she can impart to young people following in her footsteps, and it was quite evident that this mother of three has much to give, both in the industry and her personal life. She was born in Soweto, Johannesburg, and attended a boarding school called Hoërskool Bekker in Magaliesburg where her already headstrong demeanour was nurtured and amplified, speaking to her nature of always staying busy and thriving in challenging situations. She started her career as an intern at Vodacom before moving on to taking on other challenges at MTN. A couple of years from there she took a dive and landed at MultiChoice, where she has been for six years, and for the past eight months has been acting as Head of Service Delivery.
