CEO Nights with Nyimpini

Accelerate your growth.

CEO Nights with Nyimpini is a monthly live podcast that brings together top CEOs for casual yet aspirational discussions on life lessons to foster success, providing practical tips and guidance to others who aspire to be the next generation of leaders. We dive into insightful, relaxed conversations with top CEOs, exploring their personal journeys.

Each episode introduces a CEO from a renowned organisation, offering a glimpse into the person behind the title. This podcast is inspired by Nyimpini Mabunda's best selling book titled 'Take Charge", where he shares the lessons and personal experiences that shaped his journey to becoming CEO of an international company before the age of 40.

Set in an intimate auditorium-style venue, the show emulates a coffee-house conversation and atmosphere, blending professional insights with personal development themes. CEO Nights with Nyimpini focuses on the human aspects of the leader and not the title or role; the family person, the individual in and outside of work – providing insight into a ‘day in the life of a CEO’ and your journey to the top.
