Bio
Natalie Wilmot
I taught Kgomotso as part of her Masters in International Business Management at the University of Bordeaux, for which I was also her thesis supervisor. She is a highly motivated and diligent student, who demonstrates the clear ability to put the learnings from her course into practice in order to benefit organisational outcomes, which she did to great effect during her internship at Total. She has strategic insight into organisational practices, and accordingly is able to suggest and recommend appropriate solutions for the challenges that organisations face. Kgomotso is an excellent practitioner of international business, with a deep understanding of cross-cultural management, and has extensive experience of working in multicultural teams. I am sure that she would be an asset to any future employer and I wish her every success, which she richly deserves, in her future career.

Au cours de sa mission de 6 mois au sein de la Communication Corporate Afrique (Total, Marketing & Services), Kgomosto Mashaba a fait preuve d’une grande rigueur, de professionnalisme et a apporté des inputs très précieux sur différents sujets - spots et récurrents – qui ont notamment été challengés par l’épisode Covid. Très en charge de ses sujets et forte d’une solide expérience, Kgomotso a su mener à bien les missions qui lui ont été confiées, et en peu de temps. Elle a de solides atouts : curiosité et ouverture d’esprit, sens du collectif, sens du dialogue et du compromis et rigueur d’exécution. Cela a été un réel plaisir de travailler avec Kgomotso.
