·
·
If she's stranded on an island in the middle of nowhere and can order only one meal from any of Nairobi’s food restaurants she'd go for Sierra Burger and Wine's cheeseburger and fries. We had a quick sit down with Mwende Malinda, and got to know a few things about her and her role as a Marketing Content Manager at Vivo.

What does her team have to say about her?
Mwende lights up the room. In a subtle but significant way. We admire her leadership methods. As much as she is our leader, she is also our friend. She trusts us to execute our roles and because of that we try our best to perform over and above. Mwende is always looking for a way to simplify processes and systems to make our workflow as seamless as possible. She's a natural giver and listener. We love that she recognizes our efforts and doesn't miss out on a chance to compliment us.
