With over 20 years of experience across diversity and inclusion, business development, leadership strategy, and social impact, Zimkhitha has built platforms that connect grassroots women, financial institutions, policymakers, and capital providers to reshape how women participate in the economy. Her work focuses on moving women beyond financial access toward wealth creation, ownership, and economic agency. Under her leadership, AWFII has convened women’s financial inclusion dialogues across South Africa, launched the Her Economy platform, and established strategic partnerships with institutions including the Graça Machel Trust, EasyEquities, Liberty, Standard Bank, and KPMG. She is also the Founder of DEI&B, a consultancy advancing workplace inclusion and the implementation of ISO 30415 Diversity & Inclusion standards in Africa. A passionate advocate for financial literacy as a tool for liberation and leadership, Zimkhitha believes that sustainable empowerment requires more than access — it requires women to influence, own, and shape the systems that govern capital and opportunity.
