I had been following Jitos’ social media commentary on many a topic, especially, about the “power” of entrepreneurship. Yesterday, he graced the first ever “MARKETING WEEK” organised by the Zambia Institute of Marketing(ZIM), as the first speaker, and we couldn’t have asked for a better opening speaker. As the President of ZIM I am extremely proud of this new connection and am sure we still have a long way to go together. I know am speaking for good number of our members, that found his presentation, very insightful. Cheers Jito!
